Taylor Swift announces official end of the Eras Tour during 100th show: ‘Like, that’s it’
Taylor Swift is thinking about the end of her Eras era.
During her Eras Tour stop in Liverpool on Thursday, the singer got reflective. The show was the 100th date on the massive worldwide tour, and Swift took the opportunity to talk about the end of the tour for the first time.
“I think a lot of people are like, well, how are you going to celebrate the 100th show?” she told the screaming crowd. “And for me, the celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is gonna end in December. Like, that’s it.”
She continued, “That feels like so far away from now. But then again, it feels like I just did my first show on this tour, because you guys have made this so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows.”
The 14-time Grammy winner then added that the tour has “become my entire life” and she doesn’t remember her hobbies anymore because “all I do when I’m not on stage is just like sit at home and try to think of some clever acoustic song mashups and thinking about what you might like to hear.”
Swift then thanked fans for all the effort they’ve made to attend 100 shows of the Eras Tour, and told them how she wanted to celebrate the milestone. “I want to spend another show just thinking about that and living in this moment with you and being here with you and just know that I appreciate every single ounce of effort you put in to be with us when this tour reaches triple digits of shows. So thank you.” She then proceeded to play fan-favorite “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” as usual, asking the obliging fans if they had 10 minutes to spare, as is custom.
Swift has two more dates in the U.K. city this weekend before moving on to Cardiff and the first of several dates in London.

Swift’s comments Thursday marked the first time she ever publicly confirmed the end of the tour, which she continued to add dates to over the past year.
