It's the music tour that changed the industry.

Changed entire economies, at least temporarily.

And if you ask some, super Swifties may have even changed some lives.

The era tour has danced through sold -out stadiums in 50 cities on five

continents.

The highest grossing tour of all time, stretching 633 days.

And rocketing Swift from megastar to cultural phenomenon.

It is the end of an era, if you can believe it.

Taylor Swift will end her record -shattering era tour this weekend.

We are just one day away from Taylor Swift kicking off her final era tour

Are you ready for it?

Three left.

That's it.

I don't know how I'm going to feel, but I also really don't know how other

people are going to feel.

But they're going to need me to respond in a way that supports however it is

that they feel at any given moment.

So I'm just sort of bracing myself for... How do you feel?

I feel so proud, but so ready.

Like... So ready for this. This is the perfect ending.

This show created a bonding experience for like 70 ,000 people all at once.

And I don't know how that happened.

There are times where you make something so cool.

and you know it's cool and you're really proud of it, but you're flying into the

wind and you're just always up against some friction, then there's times, these

very rare instances, where you make something and the wind is at your back.

Somehow culture and timing and whatever mood there is out in the world about you

that you can't control all lines up for this to go well.

so many unbelievable memories in this tour but my favorite one is seeing you

concert for the first time being memorized mesmerized and swept off my

woman who doesn't even know me i selfishly say thank you for creating

legendary tour and to robert for making you stop through kansas city missouri

that night too in kc was the beginning of me meeting the love of my life

So much for no emotions on the last three shows, huh?

Less than cozy.

Honestly,

it looks the same.

Three more. Three more, dude. Three more.

That's it. Your hair looks phenomenal.

Thank you, ma 'am. Really love it.

I just feel like I'm just preparing for tears in a way that's making me feel

confused. I totally agree.

Do you know what I mean?

I'm prepared for happy tears and gratitude, but I'm like...

This is not supposed to bring anyone sadness.

No.

Even though it's never going to happen again.

So I guess it is sad.

I'm getting weird jitters.

They're weird. They're strange.

Because there's an end inside.

It kind of messes with people.

This is one that you requested, this mashup.

Did I?

Yeah, I think so.

Now I'm going to cry again. Little hands wrapped around my finger and it's so

quiet in the world. Sorry, the key needs to be higher. So quiet in the world

tonight.

Little eyelids flutter because you're dreaming so I tuck you in and on your

favorite nightlight to you.

Give all I have, honey Just try to never grow

up

I'm

five years old, it's getting cold I've got my big coat on

Stop smiling at me.

I can't fucking do it either, dude.

I'm going to record that and just talk it through.

Hi, buddy.

Oh, my God. I'm just going to talk it through because I don't want to do that

again. I noticed the brother and the dad are standing in the background. That's

a very upsetting situation.

Yikes, man.

The piano one. This ticket could come with a warning.

It really should.

They should be printed on tissue.

That's ridiculous.

Oh, my God.

Those are amazing.

Thanks, Dad.

Holy mackerel.

All right. All right. Oh, my God. We're here.

One word to describe the air is for magical.

I might not have one, but maybe a few.

It would be remarkable and phenomenal.

It's just joyous. It's just like a celebration of all that's happy in the

This is an unprecedented big.

I don't know.

You know, indescribable.

Everything that we've experienced, it'll live forever in my mind, in my heart,

in my physical body.

It's forever.

What I'm going to miss most?

Um, family.

The family dynamic is like genuinely like something I've never, um, I don't

know.

I've completely changed and grown just being around so many positive examples.

I feel like I have lifelong connections with everyone.

I didn't expect to get close with this many people.

There's not a person that you won't get along with, and there's not a person

that you can't be alone with and still have the best time.

I have the most supportive team I could ever have. You can't really ask for much

more.

This was an amazing group of dancers and the chemistry with the band, and we

were all very aware of the magic that this tour was able to capture.

I'm in a mess going on stage every night with this band that I've known for 15

years. Being able to be up there with this group of people, spreading all this

joy and positivity.

It is a joy fest, and I'm here for it.

We're so proud to be here, to be working with Taylor, to be working with each

other. We are in this together.

That's what she said to us on that first day, just shaking hands and saying, hi,

I'm Taylor.

She is like a legend.

This tour, this boss has made us feel seen, worthy, and treated with the

respect.

Nice.

I remember my first show, and Taylor said to me, Jan, you're going to be the

first one who's going to open. Just be ready for that.

I'm waiting, and all you can see is the doors going up.

I'm, like, still confident, walking forward.

And when I opened, and people were screaming. screaming, and all you can

is just lies.

It's like, I can't even describe it.

I know that I was holding my tears the first time.

I never felt this energy before.

And it's weird to say, and I know that after every job, when you're done,

saying, oh, that was the one, that was the one. But I think this one is the

Okay.

You guys, this is our last first show of the weekend.

For me, this is our victory lap. Yeah.

We did the hard shit, the scary things, the ups, the downs. We did all that.

I couldn't be happier to get to play this last first night with you. It's

probably the happiest I've ever been on a first night. Yeah.

Because it's the last one.

Oh, God, here we go. One first thing, deep breath, everybody, because I know

we're all feeling a little buzzy. So in... and out.

Okay.

I was, you know, thinking about change, and we have a big one coming up, which

is the end of the... But when I think about what change means, that's what

are.

Eras are evolution, and...

They are meant to come to an end in some ways, but this will always have been

our era's era.

I'm just so proud of you guys, and I can't believe that we've done it. It's

so amazing. I love you guys.

live on as probably the pinnacle, foremost, important thing that I've

I get very depressed about pop culture's obsession with youth culture.

And we designate extremely young people to be the ones who have to tell us where

culture is going. And then the idea that an artist had, in my case, the

privilege of developing to the point where you're in your 30s and you do know

yourself a bit more, and then you were able to make the thing that they'll know

you for.

There's something very special about that.

This was a seismic, momentous period of time in my life

and in the lives of the performers and the crew members and anyone who this

touched.

And it's never going to happen again this way.

I think for most of us, this is bigger than we ever thought it would be.

When I went through treatment and I was away from it, I would play the show all

the time. I would watch it on TV and I'd sing along and remember the good feels

that I felt when I was there.

It's more than just a job. It's more than just a show.

It's what we are and just the joy and the magic that happens in that space.

It's just magical.

I think it's just such a beautiful blessing that we all get to do. And

I never wanted to end.

You and Grace, you're going to do another duet. We just can't stop.

Hi.

How are you doing? I'm really good.

Do you want to do your bridge again?

Sure. Right? Sure.

And do you want to, will it be too much to?

I like doing the harmony on the bridge. Okay, perfect, okay. But that's just the

way. And both on. How crazy is that? I never planned on you changing your life.

But that's just the way life goes. That's what gives me the full like.

joyriding down our road, lay on the horn to prove that it haunts me. I love you,

I'm sorry, then you do the harmony.

Hope it's nice where you are.

And I'll leave that for you.

I love you, love. I'm sorry.

I'm in a full body sweat. This is disgusting.

I know, I know, I know. I feel it. It's really, it's so disgusting under my

shirt. I'm so excited. This is better than any of the ones that we've done.

That's why our bodies are reacting to the sweat. I know. They're completely

like, oh, God.

We've saved the best for last. Oh, my God.

I know it's gross to hug it at this point, but it's going to be so fun. The

light and the joy that she has provided.

There's just been nothing like this cultural phenomenon in a tour ever.

It's like changed people's lives.

The people who came to these shows wanted to have a good experience and

others to have a good experience too.

There's something very pure about that.

Those fans, seeing them get dressed the way that they do, seeing them make the

effort to commune with each other, to help each other, it is that sense of

connecting with each other.

I think that's the thing that compelled people to make such a big deal out of

the heiress tour. Yes, it's a pretty freaking cool show, but you know what

is really cool about it? Everybody who comes to it.

Hearing the stories about the positivity rush that people felt, talking about

how they blacked out during the show and they just got this euphoric rush of joy

that felt chemical.

I specifically created this tour on a molecular level to make people feel

that sense of escape, but to have it land like that, you're like, yes.

I probably spend more time looking at the audience than I do looking at the

show. It's really fulfilling and her outreach and the fan base and community

that she's grown.

What more could you ask for in a career?

Every person in that audience hopefully is being shaped positively in some way

by something that they see or something that they hear or something that they

feel during that three and a half hours.

The 22 moment stems from a hat that I wore on the Red Tour.

So I wanted to really bring back that moment of just kind of like have a

with a fan where I actually like get close with them.

What's so interesting about that moment every night is I never know what kid I'm

gonna meet I've got people in the audience scouring the crowd for the

couple of eras trying to find a kid who knows every single word to the song and

Having the time of their life at this show because that kid basically is like

representative of every kid in that crowd that night It could be like A

kid that gets really shy when all of a sudden they're seeing 60 ,000 people for

the first time. Or it could be there are kids that just like bloom under the

bright lights and they're just like, oh my God, I'm a pop star now.

It's always so wild to be like in this moment with this.

person that I've never met before, this little kid.

And everything's going on around us, and somehow we're able to just, like, have

this moment be completely between us.

We're just kind of, like, meeting each other, and everyone else kind of

disappears for a second.

It just reminds me why I do it.

The hat girl, the kids got the hat. Okay.

Really, like, shook my reality.

Like, I came up to her, I hug her, and she goes, and she really was wondering.

And I was like,

and it just made me be like,

actually, I don't know.

Do you know what I mean?

And here we are, the last day of the tour.

The Aris tour is coming to an end today.

Let's see how many...

If you're friends with a Swifty, please call them and check on them and make

sure they're okay today.

Because today is the last day of the heiress tour.

And we are in mourning.

I'm not ready. I'm not ready.

I can't believe the end is here.

I have met so many amazing people

and made so many new friends over this.

Don't let anyone make you feel small or make you feel silly for being sad right

now.

You're not grieving the loss of some silly little pop star performance.

You're grieving the loss of a big event that gave you joy and distraction and

hope and camaraderie at a time where it feels like none of those things should

be able to exist.

I hope the fans know that this has been her giving them everything she had.

Guess what day it is?

Sunday.

And she never stops writing music, so they have more to look forward to. But

right now, I hope they honor that little bit of time just for her.

Happy last day.

It's the last one. It's the last one.

You got the game on? Yeah.

I think that after this tour, it would be nice to grow back some of the things

that I've had to cut out of my life.

You just don't have any energy for anything that seems optional.

Hey, Erica, guess what?

Happy birthday!

Yeah! You beat me to it!

Happy birthday!

Oh, my God, I cannot believe it.

And so I'm interested in regaining some of that because I know I used to have

hobbies and like a personality outside of this tour.

I can't remember what they were.

I'll let you know.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Go for it. Please.

Thank you, sir.

I need them to keep running away with this. So this is your last day, but

watching football. Did you ever think this was going to happen?

I never thought that you and I would talk about sports in my life ever. I

thought, I mean, it hadn't happened by the time I was 32.

I just kind of waited.

Get another touchdown.

Get another touchdown. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Damn it.

This is amazing.

I know.

Well, but you can keep that on. I can prioritize both things.

Did they get a flag for that? Trust me, mine is better.

Can this verse down, please?

We need love, but all we want is danger. We seem up. Throw it!

Touchdown!

Yes!

Oh, shit.

If this goes my way, the kind of day I'm about to have.

The time we stood with our shaking hands, the crowds and stands went wild.

You held your head like a hero on a history book

page.

Was the end of a decade the start of an

age?

I have an idea.

Instead of the end of a decade, say it was the end of an era. What?

Instead of the end of a decade, say it was the end of an era.

That's a great idea.

It was the end of a decade.

No, it was the end of an era.

Oh, yeah.

The start of an age.

The only thing that's left is the manuscript.

One last souvenir from my trip to your shore.

Now and then I reread the manuscript.

But the story isn't mine anymore.

Oh, that's a gorgeous way to finish it. Right?

Yeah. So it goes long live verse and chorus, New Year's Day verse and chorus,

manuscript bridge into long live bridge, into the down verse of long live.

Into, please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize

anywhere. Into, hold on to the memories they will hold on to you.

Into, long live chorus but slowed down to halftime with the New Year's Day

chords underneath it. Into, the last verse of the manuscript.

Okay. That's complicated.

This tour has completely pushed the boundaries of excellence.

What's unique about it?

is that it's not just one genre of movement or music it's a variety of

that allows me to showcase different sides of myself it's a reminder that

we're multitudes we have all these aspects of our personalities that get to

out within the show and it helps people connect with it even more

it's truly been the most special thing that i've been able to be a

part of.

I've been preparing for the end of it for about six months.

Every single day I've known we're this much closer.

I've been very in the moment about knowing how much closer we were getting

the end of it.

I think the football game is like taking my mind off of any kind of nerves I

have.

to use the mechanisms we have at our disposal at the time.

I've been holding my breath for a year and eight months, just hoping that

we'd be safe, we wouldn't be injured, no harm would come to the tour.

For me, it's just overwhelming.

Just feeling thankful.

Okay, is it time for me to get my little outfit?

Taylor's impact is limitless.

A lot of this I would have never imagined for myself.

She has celebrated us and our moment in such big ways that her fan base

knows us by name.

That does not happen. happen for dancers because you did that the type of people

that are showing up are of different sizes are of different ages are of

different races are of different background experiences and can come to

show for three and a half hours and feel the same you leave it different you

leave it better you leave it warmer you leave it more giving more kind more

tolerant that is the stuff of legend

I love you.

Is it time?

Yeah. Mom.

Yeah. Mom. Yeah. Did I do the thing?

No. Here you go. I love you.

Have a good show.

See ya.

See ya.

One last time.

Okay, you guys.

I want to say that I'm constantly reminded of one of my favorite quotes,

is that everyone's jealous of what you've got.

No one is jealous of what you had to do to get it.

Everyone likes to talk about phenomenons, like the Heirs Tour, almost

was pieces falling into place in some sort of destined, accidental...

confluence of events that just happened right when i'm thinking about the people

that are in this circle i don't think about it as pieces that fell into place

think of each of you as like tectonic plates on the earth and the heirs tour

wasn't when all the pieces fell into place that was just when every single

of us who had done so much work to where this tour was just when we all clicked

together we have traveled the entire

world we've gone through america twice we have set every attendance record in

every huge stadium we have broken every single record you can break with this

tour the only thing left is to close the book for one last time all

right

let's go out there

With her shaking hands, the crowds and fans

went wild

It was the end of an era The start of an

age You held your head like a hero

On a history book page

All the kingdom light shines between me and you I will scream

and long live all the magic we made We'll all be pretenders

one day

Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you Hold on to the

memories, they will hold on to you

The only thing that's left

is the manuscript One last souvenir from my trip to your...

But the story

very clear distinctions about being the leader of this show that this mass

exodus of emotional catharsis what's interesting is like there's

some joy in the show but there's also a lot of like snarling angry bitterness

despondent heartbroken wistful theatrical magic

and i think being able to feel those things and scream those they're There's

something that brings you joy in doing that.

People come to the show who have different lived experiences and have

beliefs, and we can have these moments of connectivity.

I think it's about passion, and I think it's about the show being accepting of

all kinds of passion that we feel throughout our human experience.

There's something so unifying about that.

I'm used to doing tours that are successful I've never been a part of a

phenomenon before

I love you.

It's history, girl.

I love you so much.

It's been such a good day.

We really all did it.

You have to just take life, you know, one era at a time. See what happens.

I was dancing when the music stopped.

And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention.

I haven't met the new me yet.

There'll be happiness after you.

But there was happiness because of you.

Both of these things can be true.

And there

is happiness.

is because of me both of these things I believe there is happiness

in our history across a great

divide there is a glorious sunrise

dappled with the flickers of light from the dress I wore at midnight

leave it all behind

But behind...

Her name was Kitty.

Made her money being pretty and witty.

They gave her the key to this city.

Then they said she didn't do it legitly.

I bought a ticket.

She's dancing in her garters and fishnets.

Fifty and the cat zero, mister.

Looking back, I guess it was Kismet.

Waited by the stage door packed in with the autograph hounds barking her name

Then glowing like the end of a cigarette while she came out I said you live in

my dreams And she said to me Hey, thank

you for the lovely bouquet You're sweeter than a peach but you don't know

life of a soul girl And you're never ever gonna wait for more The

baby

of the family.

So she waited by the tape door, asked the club promoter, arrived, she said, I

saw my soul. They had a taste of a magnificent life, it's all mine.

But that's not what your girl gets.

They leave us for dead.

Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet.

You're sweeter than a peach, but you...

you're softer than a kitten so you
