Last weekend, after 149 concerts, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour came to a close with the final show at BC Place Stadium, Vancouver, Canada. The two-year adventure spanning 18 years of music provided happiness and magic as the singer traversed five continents.

As the show ended in a haze of confetti and a group hug from Swift and her dancers and singers, many fans stood in disbelief that it was over.

Taylor Swift’s shared one last message to the fans in BC Place Stadium, Vancouver, Canada, on the final night of her two-year tour was: “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.”

Earlier in the night, Swift expressed gratitude to her fandom, describing the tour as an “adventure of a lifetime” and the legacy of the three hour plus show as joy, togetherness and love.
