Taylor Swift will not extend her record-breaking Eras Tour into 2025, the singer announced, which means she’ll end the U.S. run of the tour with her three-night stop at Lucas Oil Stadium this November.

The 34-year-old shared the news onstage in Liverpool, England — the 100th show on her massive world tour.

“This is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December,” Swift said.

“This tour has really become my entire life, it’s taken over everything, like I think I once had hobbies,” she joked. 

She’ll perform in Indianapolis Nov. 1-3, at Lucas Oil Stadium, before heading to Canada, where she’ll perform in Toronto and Vancouver.

Here’s the speech she gave to fans:

Eras Tour ticket prices soar, and Indy is no exception

The singer announced the first leg of her stadium tour in November 2022. Initially the tour was to span 27 shows and serve as a musical journey through her career. She later expanded to 66 shows for the first year and 86 in the second, visiting nearly two dozen countries.

The Indianapolis shows were announced in late summer 2023, and fans immediately scrambled for access to Ticketmaster presales and waitlists.

This tour has been notoriously difficult to score tickets to; Ticketmaster canceled a planned general onsale for the tour in November 2022 due to “extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems.” The meltdown was so bad U.S. senators eventually grilled executives of Live Nation Entertainment over their practices. The Justice Department, 29 states (not including Indiana) and the District of Columbia have since sued Live Nation, Ticketmaster’s parent company, alleging it has monopolized live events.

Some fans who had hoped to snag tickets for Swift in Indianapolis eventually decided to fly to Paris to see her relaunch the tour for its European leg, saying it was cheaper to book the flight, accommodations and concert tickets overseas than it was to attend an Indianapolis performance.

Ticketmaster still shows all three Indianapolis dates as sold out, but tickets are available via third-party resale sites. As of June 14, the cheapest resale ticket to any of the Indianapolis shows was $1,897 on SeatGeek and $2,040 on StubHub.

Eras Tour setlist varies by city

In her speech to Liverpool fans, Swift joked that her new hobby when not on stage is to “sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups and think about what you might want to hear.”

The acoustic section of her show has been unique to every city, and she began mashing up her songs this year, USA TODAY reported. She still has about 30 songs in her discography to perform.
