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

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.

Awww.

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.

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, everything's funny.

Got nothing to regret.

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

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. The brother and the dad are standing in the background. That's a

upsetting situation.

Yikes, man.

The piano one. Those tickets could come with a warning.

It really should.

They should be printed on tissue. That's ridiculous.

Oh, my God.

That was amazing.

Thanks, Dad.

Holy mackerel.

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

One word to describe the air is 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?

Family.

The family dynamic is like genuinely like something I've never, 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 one.

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.

will 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 Gracie are 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, is it, 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. Like, how crazy is that? I never planned

on you changing it. No, I know. But that's just the way life goes. That's

gave me, like, the full, like.

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

you. I'm sorry. Then you do the harmony.

You were the best, but you were the worst. I think it's a sound to love you

first. I was a dick. It is what it is. I happen to kick the age old curse. Wrong

again.

I'll watch you like things take off like.

And I'll leave that for you.

I love you. 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 sweat. I know. They're completely just

like, guys. Oh, God.

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

I know it's gross to hug it at this point, but I love it.

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.

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 truly connecting with each other.

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

the Heirs Tour. Yeah, it's a pretty freaking cool show.

But you know what else 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 gathering 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.

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 Sunday. 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.

an appearance.

Did they get a flag for that?

Just be mine and better.

Get this verse down, please.

We need love, but all we want is danger. We seem a poet.

Touchdown!

Yes!

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

At dawn 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.

I have an idea.

That at the end of a decade, they

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.

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.

And to hold on to the memories they will hold on to you.

Into long -lived 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 things 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 come out

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 this 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 to the end of it.

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

nerves I have.

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 this 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.

Did I do the thing?

Here you go. Have a good show.

See ya.

See ya.

One more little 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

Mr. Wiggler shaking hands

It was the end of an era The start of an

age You held your head like a hero

On a history book page

You're the kingdom light that shines between me and you I will scream and

long live all the magic we made We are all the 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 gnarling 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, did it. I love you so much.

This is a cheap one.

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.

Honey, when I'm above the trees, I see this for what it

is.

But now I'm right down in it. All the years I've given is just shit we're

dividing up.

Showed you all of my hiding spots.

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.

It's 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

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 in the cast, zero missed up.

Looking back, I thought that 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, babe And you're never ever gonna wait for more you play

the more that you pay you're softer than a kitten though you don't know the life

of a soul girl babe and you're never gonna wanna he

was a menace the baby of the family in Lenox her father whored around like all

men did her mother took pills and played tennis

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

what your girl gets They leave us for dead Hey,

thank you for the lovely bouquet You're sweeter than a peach for you

You're softer than a kitten, so you...
