Taylor Swift Marks End of Eras Tour With Photos From Vancouver and a Brief Nod to ‘All Too Well’

Taylor Swift‘s goodbye to The Eras Tour was a short and sweet one on social media following a trio of performances in Vancouver last weekend, the final three dates of a 149-show tour that grossed more than $2 billion in 2023-2024.

The “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” hitmaker uploaded a series of live concert photos — 17, to be exact, all of which appear to be from her three-day takeover of the Canadian city’s BC Place from Dec. 6-8 — on Wednesday (Dec. 11), three days after the very last Eras date. A brief message from Swift accompanied the pictures.

“It was rare. I was there. I remember it,” read the caption on Swift’s post. The words, pulled from her Red opus “All Too Well,” were crowned with a classic red heart emoji — instead of the white heart that’s often been attached to posts about her most recent release, the Billboard 200 chart-topping album The Tortured Poets Department and its expanded Anthology.

Swift’s pictures show group bows and hugs, a backstage shot with her band and dancers, triumphant performance shots, those last “August” twirls, her duet with opener Gracie Abrams and more.

There were no end-of-tour hijinks on the final weekend of The Eras Tour, at least none publicly displayed on the stage for the 60,000-per-night crowd to see. The culmination of this tour celebrated a fine-tuned level of showmanship, with all three nights professionally filmed for an unannounced project. The shows featured surprise song highlights like “Never Grow Up”/”The Best Day” (her parents were in attendance), “The Tortured Poets Department”/”Maroon” (this one presumably goes out to a Tortured Poets muse), and “Long Live”/”New Year’s Day”/”The Manuscript” (a closing night mashup of post-Eras reflection).

Billboard editors were on site to review all three shows. Find our thoughts on night one (written by me), night two (written by Danielle Pascual) and night three (written by Jason Lipshutz).

The promo stunt from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts also revealed Harris Dickinson's take on John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as a floppy-haired George Harrison.

It’ll be two more years before we can actually see them on screen, but on Thursday (Jan. 29), fans got the first look at the Fab Four’s look in director Sam Mendes’ upcoming four-part Beatles biopic series. The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts — an arts school co-founded in 1996 by Paul McCartney and British entrepreneur Mark Featherstone-Witty — rolled out postcards featuring photos of the actors playing each member of the group as part of a promotional stunt in conjunction with Sony Pictures UK.

As part of a “postcard hunt” the Institute informed students on Friday (Jan. 30) that it had hidden 20 more of the cards that morning with 20 more to be tucked around by lunchtime, asking them to tag the school and movie studio if they find them. “Another huge thanks to Sony for providing these exclusive, hand-numbered postcards. It’s been such an honour to bring the Beatles back home. Paul, George and John all studied in the buildings that now make up LIPA, while Sir Paul remains our Lead Patron,” read the caption to an Instagram post from the school featuring the images (which you can check out here).
