Taylor Swift Confirms the Eras Tour Will End in December: 'It Feels Like We Just Played Our First Show'

The pop superstar honored the 100th date of the Eras Tour by thanking fans for putting in "every single ounce of effort" to attend the concert sensation

• Taylor Swift played her 100th show of the Eras tour on Thursday in Liverpool

• "This is the very first time I've acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December," she told the crowd

• The final show will be in Vancouver on Dec. 8

The end of Taylor Swift's "Eras" era is coming in December.

At the 100th show of the Eras Tour, held at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England, on Thursday, the pop superstar told the audience that the tour would be coming to a close at the end of the year.

"A lot of you are like, 'How are you going to celebrate the 100th show?' " Swift, 34 said to the crowd on June 13, per fan-filmed footage. "The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I've acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December."

"That feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so fun for us," she continued.

"It's taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don't know what they were anymore because all I do when I'm not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups," the "Fortnight" singer continued, referencing the "surprise song" acoustic set she plays for fans towards the end of every Eras Tour show.

Swift first announced the Eras Tour in November 2022, with 27 concert dates across the United States. After over 3.5 million Swifties pre-registered for Ticketmaster's Verified Fan program — largest registration in Ticketmaster history — Swift added an additional 17 performances.

During the Ticketmaster presale, the website canceled the tour's general sale due to "extraordinarily high demands" — and Swift herself took to Instagram to tell fans "it really pisses me off" that some fans felt they had to "go through several bear attacks" to secure their tickets.

Since the initial domestic sale, the "All Too Well" singer has announced several additional legs to the "Eras Tour," including dates in Latin America, Asia, Australia and Europe, as well as an additional North American leg. The last scheduled show — the 152nd of the tour — is in Vancouver on Dec. 8.

"Just know that I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you've put into being with us when this tour reaches triple digits of shows — so thank you," Swift told the fans in Liverpool.

As fans descended upon Liverpool for the set of shows this weekend, they were met with what Liverpool City Council’s Director for Culture Claire McColgan called in a statement “pure pop heaven” — 11 city-commissioned public art installations, each meant to represent one of the superstars “eras.” Along what the city dubbed Taylor Town Trail, fans could snap photos on a gold throne adorned with snakes, emblematic of Swift’s Reputation album, or a moss-covered piano much like the one Swift plays during “Champagne Problems” on her Eras Tour setlist.

The “Anti-Hero” singer’s stop in Liverpool — the birthplace of The Beatles — comes not long after she surpassed a record set by the iconic English rock band. In February, Billboard reported that Swift had notched an eye-popping 384 cumulative weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart across all of her albums, souring past the Fab Four’s long reign on top.

And, as further proof of her global dominance, the “Piano Man” himself, Billy Joel, said to The New York Times of the Eras Tour in August: “The only thing I can compare it to is the phenomenon of Beatlemania.”

In anticipation of the fanfare surrounding Swift’s first ever shows in the city, Merseyside Police said they had been working for six months to “make sure the event is a safe one” in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter).

“We’re really looking forward to welcoming Taylor Swift and the Swifties,” Chief Superintendent for Liverpool Zoe Thornton told fans in the video. “We know Swifties look after each other so continue to do so.”

Swift’s three-day stint in Liverpool follows a British Geological Survey report that found her last Eras Tour stop — three shows in Edinburgh — generated seismic activity that was detected at monitoring stations over three miles from the stadium. According to the agency, fan favorite “...Ready For It?” drew the most seismic activity, though her hit “Cruel Summer” was not far behind.

In the interim between her Edinburgh and Liverpool concert dates, Swift stayed busy, taking a star-studded stroll in London, photographed with celebrity friends Este and Danielle Haim, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Kate Moss and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The night on the town also came as Swift’s ex, Matty Healy of The 1975, confirmed his engagement to model Gabbriette Bechtel. Swift and Healy were briefly linked in May 2023 on the heels of the “Love Story” singer’s six-year relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn. Swift is now coupled with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who has supported the singer by attending several Eras Tour concerts since they started dating last summer.

Following three nights in Liverpool, Swift will jet off to Cardiff, Wales, for her next Eras Tour date.
