The final weekend of the Eras Tour is underway, and it wouldn’t be a Taylor Swift concert if it didn’t feel like the singer had something up her sleeve.
Film crews joined Swift onstage at several points in the show, seemingly getting close-up shots of her performing — much like they did in Los Angeles last year back when they were filming the Eras Tour concert film. Elsewhere in Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium, attendees spotted drone and other overhead cameras and a makeshift film production hub in place of what’s usually one of the VIP tents.
Are we getting a documentary? A Tortured Poets Department-inclusive second Eras Tour concert film? A secret third thing that only the mastermind herself could come up with?
“[Camera crews have] been shooting in so many cities that I think it’s bigger than we all expect,” Bryan West, Taylor Swift reporter for USA TODAY and The Nashville Tennessean, recently told Taypedia. “Everyone is thinking it’s Miss Americana, it’s a movie. I think it’s a series.”
The rest of the show offered no other helpful hints.
The surprise song set began with “Haunted” x “Wonderland” on guitar, during which Swift joked that she “was thinking that I have to sing this next song at some point in Canada, eh?” (She seemed to get a bit of a kick out of singing the “eh, eh, ehs” in the 1989 deluxe track.)
On piano, she sang a sweet mashup of “Never Grow Up” and “The Best Day,” perhaps a nod to her 35th birthday arriving in less than a week, and/or an end of tour thank you to her family members, who have been active through much of the tour. (She noted in the newly-released Eras Tour book that her parents and brother bedazzled her crystal-covered Fearless set guitar.)
“This has been the greatest last Friday night ever,” Swift told the crowd before ending the show with “Karma.”
