During her opening Lover set, Swift shared her appreciation for fans and concertgoers.

“We have toured the entire world,” she said. “We have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”

Then later, before performing “Karma” (the last track of her setlist) and taking her final bow, Swift told the crowd: “I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date — my beloved Eras Tour.”

After her 149th and final show, Swift’s production company, Taylor Swift Touring, confirmed to the New York Times that 10,168,008 people attended the Eras Tour — and that it sold $2,077,618,725 in total tickets, making it the bestselling tour of all time and “double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.”

Swift is ending 2024 on an unprecedented high note. In addition to her record-shattering tour, she scored big with its accompanying Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book, which sold a reported 814,000 copies in its first two days, making it the most successful publishing launch of the year. Additionally, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music each announced that Swift was the top-streamed artist of 2024, and her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, was the top-streamed album of the year.
