Taylor Swift: As the Eras Tour bows out, what will she do next?

“I used to think one day we’d tell the story of us / How we met and the sparks flew instantly / And people would say, ‘They’re the lucky ones’.”
This weekend will be a bittersweet goodbye for Taylor Swift and her fans.
When she plays the final notes of Karma in Vancouver on Sunday night, the Eras Tour will be over, forever.
First announced in November 2022, it’s been even bigger than Swift could have wildest-dreamed – with 149 shows in 53 cities seen by 10.1 million fans.
Along the way, it hoovered up $2bn in ticket sales, stimulated local economies and triggered seismic events.
Swift has called it “the most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened” in her life.
Writing in her recently-published tour book, Swift said the 45-song, career-spanning setlist was inspired by the decision to re-record her first six albums, which made her fall “back in love” with her past work.
She went on to play concerts in “the pouring rain, in the blazing heat, in the thickest of humidity, in the wildest of winds and in the bitter cold,” she wrote, even when she was “sick or exhausted or injured,” or working through a “broken heart”.
