Taylor Swift must have way more hours in a day than we do. 

How else do you explain an artist who spends nearly two years performing the biggest concert tour in history, while also putting out three albums, releasing a movie and a book, making Grammy history, and disrupting the biggest sports league in the world? 

The Eras Tour began on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona — a 44-song, three-and-a-half-hour spectacular that incorporated 10 albums and nearly two decades-worth of music. It boosted local economies, made headlines night after night and kickstarted a world-wide beaded friendship bracelet movement. 

We’ve now arrived at the very last weekend of the Eras Tour — and we already miss it like it was the very first night. After three shows this weekend in Vancouver, Canada, we’ll be left holding onto the memories. (They will hold onto you.) 

But first, we’re looking back on the 13 biggest things that happened over the span of the Eras Tour. 

1. April 8, 2023: It’s Joever 

It was the breakup heard ’round the world. After almost seven years together, Swift and Joe Alwyn called it quits. Fan videos captured moments of Swift looking visibly upset while performing, and she swapped out the song “Invisible String,” which features nods to their relationship, for “The 1,” about reflecting on a breakup. 

2. May 2023: The Matty Healy of it all

The tattooed golden retriever, aka the smallest man who ever lived, aka 1975 frontman Matty Healy had known Swift for years, but the two began dating after her high-profile breakup. He even attended the Eras Tour in the VIP tent with Swift’s family multiple times. But the controversial celebrity sparked a slew of think pieces and calls from fans for Swift to break up with him — and the public pressure seemingly became too much in early June, when anonymous sources reported they had called it quits. 

3. July 7, 2023: ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ 

Continuing her plan to re-record and re-release her first six studio albums, Swift announced her third album (and third re-record) in May, onstage in Nashville during the surprise song set. “I think rather than me speaking about it, I thought I would just show you,” she said, pointing toward the giant screen onstage that revealed a Speak Now (TV) graphic, announcing the album would soon drop, after which she temporarily added fan-favorite “Long Live” to the setlist. (And let’s not forget the music video for vault song “I Can See You,” featuring everyone’s favorite ex, Taylor Lautner.)  

4. July 8, 2023: Travis Kelce has entered the chat

In the aftermath of Healy, a new suitor was waiting in the wings for his chance to woo Swift. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce attended night 2 of Swift’s Kansas City stint, and later revealed on his podcast that had tried and failed to meet Swift backstage. “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets,” he said following the show. “I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”

5: Sept. 24, 2023: The NFL (Taylor’s Version) 

As we’re now well-aware, that public declaration worked on Swift (she told Time magazine last year that she thought it was “metal as hell”). The two began dating in secret before hard launching at Swift’s first Chiefs game — the beginning of a huge wave of new, primarily young female fans, showing interest in the NFL. 

6. October 13, 2023: ‘The Eras Tour’ movie

The tour was far from over, but Swift dropped the official concert film (shot in Los Angeles, and featuring a 22 hat cameo from Kobe Bryant’s daughter Bianka) anyway. Enter: friendship bracelet trading at the movies, and fierce debates over whether it’s ever OK to sing along loudly in a public theater.  

7. October 27, 2023: ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’

The final night of Swift’s Los Angeles tour stop (on 8/9, lest we forget) began with a series of new, all-light blue costumes that became increasingly difficult to take as a coincidence. It culminated during the surprise song set — once again — when Swift revealed a graphic announcing the upcoming release of her fourth re-record. The vault songs were bangers, and made us all temporarily wonder if we were supposed to be mad at Harry Styles. 

8. November 11, 2023: ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’ 

Songs that you once associated with one person can easily become relevant with a new relationship, as Swift proved when she shocked fans and her own backup dancers by editing the line “karma is the guy on the screen” during a show in Buenos Aires. It was Kelce’s first Eras Tour show serving as its first gentleman, and Swift capped the night with a memorable kiss with her new BF. 

9. December 6, 2023: Time Person of the Year

After that whirlwind of a year, it made sense for Swift to be crowned Time’s 2023 Person of the Year. Her cover story interview featured talks of her legacy, first public comments about Kelce and, obviously, a cat-themed photo shoot. 

10. February 4, 2024: Making history at the Grammys

We thought her black and white look was a nod that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) was up next, but of course Swift doesn’t make any Easter egg easy to decipher. Onstage at the Grammy Awards — where, BTW, Swift became the first and only artist to win album of the year four times — she instead announced her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, would be dropping on April 19. 

11. May 9, 2024: The Eras Tour adds an era about the Eras Tour

Things got meta in a way that only Swift can pull off when she revamped the setlist of the Eras Tour in Paris to include TTPD, meaning she was performing songs about things that happened in her life during the tour while still on the same tour. Don’t mind us watching the livestreams night after night, screaming along to the bridge of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” 

12. June 23, 2024: Travis Kelce’s Eras Tour cameo

You thought decibel levels were high during “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”? Try night 3 in London, when fans realized that a third man was onstage for the beginning of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” — and the man in question was Kelce. He appeared as one of the dapper dancers trying to hype up a post-“Smallest Man” Swift into continuing to perform, carrying the singer from one spot on the stage to a couch. (“Don’t drop the baby,” Travis told his brother Jason on their podcast later of his game plan for the performance.)  

13. August 9, 2024: Terrorist attack plans stop Vienna shows

A serious moment temporarily paused the fun of the Eras Tour when Austrian officials announced they had arrested two men who appeared to be planning a terrorist attack on one of the three sold-out Vienna shows. Swift later called the cancellations “devastating” and said they “filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows.”

But in true Swiftie fashion, fans gathered together in Vienna anyway, singing along to their favorite songs and proving that “Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you.”
