Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was something out of her wildest dreams.

The pop star closed her record-breaking chapter with a show in Vancouver on Sunday night, ending the concert by singing “Karma” – and shouting out to her fans.

“I want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the most exciting chapter of my entire life so far – my beloved Eras Tour,” the 34-year-old singer said before the start of the 2022 hit, according to an X-Video.

Another concertgoer posted footage of Swift on social media raving about her “adventures” as she “toured the world” in more than 150 shows on five continents.

“It was the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense and challenging thing I have ever done in my life,” she gushed before her “Lover” performance.

The Grammy winner added: “We got to perform in front of over 10 million people on this tour.”

The New York Times reported Monday that the Eras Tour grossed $2,077,618,725 in ticket sales, which is “twice the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.”

Next up is Coldplay’s Spheres World Tour, which runs from March 2022 to September next year and is reportedly grossing $1 billion.

Swift’s tour began in March 2023 and catapulted her to billionaire status in October of that year.

At the time, Swift was named the richest female musician by Forbes with a fortune of $1.6 billion, with most of her earnings coming from her live shows.

While her Eras tour hit dozens of cities, Swift also released a concert film, released a tour book and surprised fans with her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Adding a “TTPD” set to the show was an “exciting challenge,” the American Music Award winner wrote in her retrospective, released in November.

“We conceived and rehearsed it in secret,” she wrote of the “hellishly ambitious” part of the concert, which she said was “the most dramatic, cathartic, female rage-driven part of the evening.”

Swift wrote via Instagram last month that the approaching end of the concert series had caused her “emotions…to heighten quite a bit.”

The songwriter admitted: “It has become extremely real for us. Our next city will be the last of the Eras Tour and the conclusion of the most extraordinary chapter of my life to date.”
