AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift is feeling the emotional weight of her Eras world Tour as it's coming to a close. On Saturday, November 23, the 34-year-old pop icon teared up onstage at her last show in Toronto, reflecting on the monumental journey. During her performance of "Champagne Problems" at Rogers Centre, Swift received a standing ovation that had her fighting back tears.
In a video posted by a fan on TikTok, Swift shared her feelings with the crowd, saying, “Toronto, we're at the very end of this tour so you doing that, you have no idea how much it means to me and to my…" She paused, turning away from the audience momentarily before continuing, "This tour... I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. That was...uh, I'm just having a bit of a moment so…"
Swift then wiped her tears while fans cheered her on. She lightened the mood by joking, "It's not even the last show!" before expressing her deep gratitude.
"My band, my crew, all of my fellow performers, we have put so much of our lives into this. And you've put so much of your lives into being with us tonight and to giving us that moment that we will never forget," she added. Swift's heartfelt words were met with more applause and cheers from the 49,000 fans in attendance.
Throughout the concert, Swift delivered two surprise acoustic mashups - "Sparks Fly" and "Message in a Bottle" on guitar, followed by "You're Losing Me" and "How Did It End" on piano. Travis Kelce's father, Ed, was spotted at the show, trading friendship bracelets with fans and standing next to Swift's mom, Andrea, in the VIP section.
Reflecting on the tour, Swift said, "We've loved our time in Toronto, it's been so amazing." She paused again, tearing up as the crowd's cheers grew louder, "I love you guys. Thanks so much for that," she concluded.
Swift's Toronto performance marked her 140th show on the Eras Tour, which has spanned five continents. With only three concerts left in Vancouver from December 6 - 8, the tour will wrap up a significant chapter in Swift's career.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even shared a Reputation-inspired welcome message to Swift on X (formerly Twitter), acknowledging the end of her expansive tour in Canada. As the era comes to an end, Rogers Centre celebrated with a giant Eras Tour friendship bracelet - a symbolic gesture passed on from previous venues in Indianapolis and New Orleans.
As Swift's tour nearing its conclusion, the immense outpouring of love from fans and her own emotional response highlights the deep connection between the artist and her audience. This poignant moment in Toronto is a testament to Swift's enduring impact as she closes out the Eras Tour in Vancouver.
