The Taylor Swift era in Vancouver is coming to an end.

With the final show of the record-breaking Eras Tour taking place on December 8, 2024, Vancouver has been the center of the universe for Swifties around the world in recent days.

The 34-year-old pop star has been to Vancouver a few times, starting with performances at Rogers Arena more than a decade ago as part of the Red Tour. She’s even played at BC Place a few times.

Despite her popularity, she is unlikely to set the record for most fans at BC Place for one show; Ed Sheeran’s small stage allowed more than 65,000 spectators to be seated in the stadium last year.

However, Swift will likely have the most fans at BC Place during a tour, as there have been no other shows that filled BC Place three times.

A new fact may be added to this list in the future, as a camera crew was spotted on stage with Swift during her show over the weekend, meaning official concert footage from Vancouver could surface in the future.
