Long live all the magic she made.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift<\/strong> closed out her record-breaking Eras Tour Dec. 8 in Vancouver, Canada. Before starting the final song, she told the crowd, according to fan-shot footage, “Vancouver I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date, my beloved Eras Tour.”<\/p>\n

She also said, “We have toured the entire world… we have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. We’ve gotten to perform for over 10 million people on this tour.”<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, Taylor didn’t have any special guests join her for the finale night, nor did she make any surprise announcements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the New York Times<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> the Eras Tour, which started in March of 2023,\u00a0sold more than $2 billion worth of tickets, which is, according to the paper, “double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.” The Times<\/em> got the figures from Taylor’s production company. Coldplay<\/strong> is second, with $1 billion in sales for their Music of the Spheres Tour, which isn’t set to conclude until September of 2025.<\/p>\n

In addition to breaking box-office records, The Eras Tour tour also spawned the massively successful concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.<\/em>\u00a0That documentary earned more than $261 million, making it\u00a0the highest-grossing concert film of all time, per\u00a0Guinness<\/em> World Records.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Taylor’s The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> has returned to #1 on the Billboard<\/em> 200, selling 405,000 units, thanks to the physical copies of The Anthology<\/em>\u00a0version\u00a0that went on sale in Target on Black Friday.\u00a0It’s the album’s 16th week at #1 in total.<\/p>\n
