Tears were ricocheting at Taylor Swift’s sixth and final Eras Tour show in Toronto this weekend.
On Saturday, the pop star got visibly emotional after receiving a standing ovation for her performance of “Champagne Problems” while attempting to make a speech thanking her fans and bandmates for their support.
In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter), Swift was spotted on stage in a red gown with a matching red lip as she began to cry. “To my band and to my crew, everybody who’s put so much of this into this tour, and I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore,” Swift said as her voice cracked and she turned away from the crowd. “I’m just having a —sorry…It’s not even the last show!”
After pulling herself together, Swift continued, “My band, my crew [and] all my fellow performers, we have put so much of our lives into this, and you put so much of your lives into being with us tonight and to giving us that moment that we will never forget. We loved our time in Toronto; it’s been so amazing. I love you, guys, thank you so much for that.”
The Grammy-winning singer will perform three more concerts in Vancouver, before officially ending her Eras Tour on December 8. Swift initially launched the worldwide tour that honored all of her past and present albums in March 2023.
The Eras Tour holds a particularly special place in Swift’s heart, as it’s where her love story with Travis Kelce first began. Back in July 2023, the NFL star tried to give the singer his phone number on a friendship bracelet, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out the way he hoped.
“I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce previously said on his New Heights podcast, adding: “If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets, and I received a bunch of them being there, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift one with my number on it.”
Swift later revealed that the two started “hanging out” shortly after Kelce put her “on blast” while speaking with Time magazine in December 2023.
