Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Remembered: 25 Best Moments From the Pop Star’s Historic Trek

In the blink of a crinkling eye, Taylor Swift‘s global Eras Tour trek has concluded after two years on the road, spanning five continents, 51 cities and more than 10 million audience members.

Ending just five days before the pop superstar’s 35th birthday Friday (Dec. 13), the two year run was the culmination of nearly two decades of musical and cultural dominance, with the singer-songwriter spending more than three hours each night on stage dazzling city after city with selections from all 10 of her albums — which turned into all 11 following the release of her The Tortured Poets Department in April. Countless celebrities made appearances in the audience — Stevie Nicks! Paul McCartney! Flavor Flav! Prince William! — while fans from all over the world made friendship bracelets by hand, painstakingly put together costumes and started their very own grassroot traditions, from DIY-ing “Willow” orbs to match those held by Swift’s dancers during the Evermore set to holding up their phone flashlights to pay respects to the musician’s late grandmother every time she sang “Marjorie.”

The Eras Tour will go down in history for multiple reasons, from being anchored by Swift’s ongoing Taylor’s Version re-recording project to its effect on local economies, its impact on the discussion surrounding ticket pricing and its status as the first concert tour to ever gross more than $1 billion. But at the heart of the trek will always be how it made Swifties feel just to make memories and sing along on the stadium grounds, from opening night on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Ariz., to closing night on Dec. 8, 2024, in Vancouver, B.C.

In honor of Swift’s birthday, Billboard has rounded up the 25 best moments from the superstar’s historic trek. Reflect on the Eras Tour highlights as we say goodbye to the Eras Tour, in chronological order, below.
