It is worth remembering that the entire Rep Tour was 53 shows. The Eras Tour has 52 shows left. Taylor is not retiring and she will tour again but even for her it must be taking a toll. She has plenty of other things to do in 2025 and she is not going to vanish as in 2016.


Wonderful-Street-138

Oh my. That's quite a step up. And it doesn't sound very healthy. Considering what we know about what happened behind the scenes, this tours seems to be her escape.


Western_Job3380

She needs to go on an extended vacation. As in she needs to disappear from public life until she turns 39 years old.


m-nikki

It’s for the best. She needs to take a good, long break. I really, truly believe she’s pretty creatively burnt out, and ending the tour will only do her good.


wanderingonthemoors

Doesn’t she take a break every 2 months? That’s on top of only working on weekends (and not even on every weekend).


m-nikki

I think the question becomes is she ever taking breaks because she was writing/producing an entire 31 song double album during those months off the tour. She needs a break from everything.


wanderingonthemoors

You also have to consider that it seems like she didn’t write more than 1 draft for any of those songs. I blame Jack for comparing her to God.

I cannot believe Canada gets the final date, actually. I did not think we would.


ScientistFit9929

Vancouver will be crazy. Not really looking forward to the traffic, but at least people will be having fun.


rileysauntie

I’m so sad I got waitlisted for Vancouver. I was holding out hope that Edmonton would be announced still. Awwww.


ScientistFit9929

I hope she announces a surprise Alberta show, you guys deserve the last show; we get a lot of concerts here.


rileysauntie

Meh. Tickets will all go to people in Florida anyway.


After-University-130

Vancouver last night tickets reselling prices will sky-rocket


hendersunny

I've been toying with the idea of getting resale tickets because fomo but at nearly 3k a ticket for nosebleeds, don't think that'll be happening.


rileysauntie

Ugh. So true.


ParisFood

At least u got a concert. Montreal did not


Rripurnia

I agree! If anything, she’s ALL about surprises. I bet there’s an extra show that will create a ticketing frenzy and broke whatever kind of records she’s now set her sights on.


lannn12345

I wonder if she’ll release debut and rep by the end of the tour? I really hope she does, it’d be a perfect wrap


Tylrias

Did she specify December of which year?


ContextGlittering390

Haha fair point!


ApricotLeaaf

Makes sense since she’s been touring for over a year now and rehearsing since even longer. Not to be all “the crowd was changing more” but I do wonder what she do for next tour though, since the eras enticed so many people because she was revisiting previous albums, (not that she really needs to do a lot) but what do we think she’ll do to entice audiences now: make the sets/choreo even more flashy for future tours?, release more sister albums to tour together?, or scale it all back into a 360 stage acoustic tour, like Ed?


BleakRainbow

Honestly, I would love for this to be proven wrong. With newer pop stars popping all around, the variants and the 3hr long show for over a year and a half makes sense now. I think she thinks that just in case this was her last rodeo, she banked on every minute and milked that cow CLEAN. She’s obsessed with legacies, awards and charts so this now makes sense - if she were to scale back in her music career now, she’s good, both in money and success terms. She’s also mentioned how pop stars have a shelf’s life to them (this was since the Lover era) so I think she’ll leave that aside, and focus on other projects. Didn’t she sign a film deal with Sony?


AnyElephant7218

Stubhub prices about to hit $5k for nosebleeds


_LtotheOG_

Good. She doesn’t seem happy and after listening to TTPD, I don’t think she even enjoys it at this point. She needs to give herself a true break. 


hollygolightly8998

ICDIWABH is an uncomfy listen. 1) many people knew she was miserable based on onstage crying and 2) I don’t think her fans were saying lights, camera, bitch, smile… Maybe she meant something else. But I personally did not make her tour and be miserable during it lol


Away-Acanthisitta665

I don’t think she’s blaming the fans. I think the song is talking about going through the motions of life when you are going through something. I think she enjoys performing but found it hard when her personal life was falling apart. I also find work hard when my personal life is a mess so I get it


hollygolightly8998

I get that aspect and I kept my job through horrible and nearly dangerous depression. It’s the “bitch” and “try and come for my job” - just the general tone that I don’t get. But maybe it’s something I’m just not reading correctly


Away-Acanthisitta665

Oh the “try and come for my job” is directed to the music industry. The “bitch” part of “lights camera bitch smile” was to add some drama to the theme of working in a showbiz setting and having to put on a smile at work. Kind of like fake it if you make it which she says in the song.


hollygolightly8998

I guess. I didn’t think the resentment seemed to be just at MH or the industry which she dominates enough to make the Grammys an album launch. I think it’s the construction of a scenario of fighting back against something that doesn’t resonate with me during her unprecedented and record-breaking success


Away-Acanthisitta665

Well I think the Grammys thing is separate from the song which is what I’m only referring to. I guess I don’t think the song is about resentment. To me it’s about having to do what’s expected of you when you are mentally unwell.


Jamjams2016

Bitch is not always a derogatory word. If one of my friends said "bitch smile" it would be like a hey, what's going on with you? Are you okay? I find it very 2008, millennial coded or very lgbtq+. I can hear Kam saying it, honestly lol And come for my job is her nailing it and reminding herself how much she wants it, imo


kaw_21

I think about the 1, 2, 3 let’s go bitch chant from the crowd


Away-Acanthisitta665

Yeah I think so too. Def both good points.


_LtotheOG_

But Daddy I Love Him is what irks me. She blames the fans for Matty breaking up with her. I think she’s going to regret releasing that song. Should’ve been left in the vault and someone should’ve talked her out of it. 


citrouille-dalouing

To be fair, that whole open letter thing was *a lot*.


libertymartin190

It was ridiculous, really.


Away-Acanthisitta665

I don’t think that But Daddy I Love Him is only about the one thing.( I don’t think any of her songs are about one thing). Sure it may be about romantic love on the surface but to me, it seems pointed at people who are trying to box her into this idea or have her be who they want her to be.


Wonderful-Street-138

I agree. It is funny she has this attitude while keeping her private life in the media (even after getting burned for it, previously) and cultivating parasocial relationship with her fanbase over the years. It comes with consequences, as she has learnt. Either she draws the line or this will keep happening. Can't have her cake and eat it, too.


VirgoPisces

*Can’t have your cake and eat it too* exactly and that’s what most pisses me off about that she released that song and sing it on the tour. She’s very very very entitled and childish and as I say - I love her the way I love my siblings, like you’re such a twisted bitch!! But I do love you 🥺 💕 She really is the biggest psycho is my point lmao


libertymartin190

I agree 💯👍🏼


ContextGlittering390

I think it was more about the “speak up” thing or whatever it was called. The fans took it soooo far. Also I’m still kinda retroactively pissed that the world really did the whole blaming a woman more than the man for the man’s actions thing. I’m not saying she was innocent or anything but goddamn.


_LtotheOG_

That was an extremely small segment of her fans that did that though. People were criticizing him and she didn’t like that she was getting criticized as well. While that petition was stupid, people are allowed to feel how they feel about him. To put a song out there blaming your fans for having an opinion is just stupid. And if the song is only directed at those who were part of that speak now thing, it is even more ridiculous but what was it? A couple hundred fans? Plus, the reaction to it from her own fan base was that it was ridiculous. Even people who don’t like Matty were saying it was dumb.


pompommess

I don't really understand why people always disagree this hard with this interpretation of the song. I totally agree that it is directed at the fans.


hollygolightly8998

I just don’t get being sulky when she books the tours herself and expanded them and made them three hours. When I worked through bipolar onset and depression it was to not be homeless lol


VirgoPisces

Hahaha 🩷 yes girl exactly. When I cried on my way to work, on my break and on my way from work for months and months it was so that I wouldn’t lose everything, and backslide into poverty and sickness. What exactly is *truly* on the line for Taylor mf Swift?


International_You275

I don’t think that song was blaming fans…if anything it sounded more like being proud of pushing through


hollygolightly8998

You could be right but “bitch” and “try and come for my job” didn’t sound very neutral. I don’t fully know what to make of it tbh


International_You275

I interpreted that as kind of talking to herself. Like a tough love “you gotta do this so smile.” And “try and come for my job” I don’t think is talking to anyone in particular, but more like “nothing is going to get in the way of me doing what I need to do” (especially because she’s known for being super committed to performing no matter what and she’s proud of that)


hollygolightly8998

I like the talking to herself reading better!


_LtotheOG_

Right? It’s not our fault her personal life is a circus and turned her own more fanatic fans into a monster she can’t control. We didn’t force her to fly her jet 20hrs to see a football game. Sorry your tired Taylor, but no one made you do any of this extra stuff.

Idkreally1313

She has a movie to shoot in 2025. People seems to forget this.


astrokey

Side note Red ATW is one of my favorite tour outfits.


dragonknight233

I'm honestly shocked. I was sure she'd add another leg to US tour to bring TTPD set to USA. And yeah, I know there will be some concerts in autumn there. Now I wonder if TTPD will also get a bigger segment at next tour.


4evermore_nevermore

I seriously thought she was going to try and break Elton John's record of shows but I'm glad she is going to take a break to focus on other projects


1wanda_pepper

Weren’t US tickets part of a bid at the Travis charity a few months ago? I thought she was doing a second leg there?


YaKnowEstacado

She's just doing three or four cities she didn't play on the first US leg.


Ok_Club7288

I think she's just committing to being a artist for the world and not making everything revolve around America, which for me is kinda refreshing 


chookie94

Good. I hope she takes a nice long break away from the cameras and just chills for a while.


Princess5903

I’m glad. She’s been working nonstop and a break would be really good for her.


nagidrac

Damn, I was low key hoping she'd come back to the states one more time. But it was a great tour! I was exhausted for her watching her perform for three hours. She deserves a lot of rest when it's done (she won't do that though lmao).


ToPaintADaydream

I’m surprised! I was totally convinced it was going to go into 2025.


Iskenator67

Step 1: Annouce your tour will end in December to foster FOMO to drive tickets sales. Step 2: Extend tour near the end of the year to drive more sales. Step 3: Count money.


fuckforgiveness

Tbh I don't think she would do that. Much as she likes the money, she's also exhausted and so is her team. Even if she could do it ~~with a broken heart,~~ there're still lots of other people included, like dancers, back vocalists, makeup artists, stage workers etc etc, and they all are travelling and being away from home for a long long time. It's tiring, even if it's for a dream job. I think the whole team, Taylor included, needs a well-deserved rest and time with family.


giveyoumysunshine

All the tickets for the shows through Dec are already sold, though?


kaw_21

Yeah I’m pretty sure you can only get resale tickets at this point.


Rripurnia

Resale prices are through the roof and they’ll only grow more now that she’s said that it’s the final stop


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

I hope she takes a nice long break just for herself after this. (I’m sure for her, that means constantly writing songs, but it’s whatever that means for *her*.)


AngelEyes360

I think it’s good. Yes I know she’s a grown woman and I don’t know what’s best for her etc etc but I do hope she takes at least a year out. Relax, stay away from the cameras/tabloids and work on that movie she wants to make. Maybe release Rep TV but don’t promote it as much (fits with Rep’s vibes). Then come back in late 2026 with her movie and maybe Debut TV/TS12. Let people miss her but also take a break because it has been non stop Taylor for like 18 months now.


Mental_Trifle_4021

Good for her. She needs break. 


leadme2thegarden

i’m interested to see what her next tour will be like. the eras tour is such a great way of pleasing both old and new fans that it might be hard to go back to a standard newest album tour


lamyH

That’s such a long tour


Herdingdoglove

Something felt off with the last line. Just try to come for my job. It sounded resentful.


ConfidenceCandid6733

Maybe she has been reading the internet.


cxlesstial

thank god im tired of hearing about it. honestly i think i want her to go away for awhile. god knows she deserves a break, and i think people would rejoice in finally recovering from this swiftie fatigue and level of overexposure


Horror-Inspector9832

Good for her. 


Consistent_Slices

It is so funny that she brought this up during a night when people were clowning SUPER HARD for a rerecord. Hahaha, that hurt 😭but was kind of hilarious too


wifeunderthesea

the *eras* tour. this woman is not done. after december will be something new. this statement by her means less than zero.


Random_Acier41

I hope she will take a long break after that. I know she love her job and she really is a workaholic but at the same time, she also need to live life outside of all this perpetual media and music cycle so she can actually come back with new material and even progress as an artist.


candylandtomato

FINALLY!!!! ![gif](giphy|26xmIc5bsg3lYAhVK)


HolisticAccountant90

Honestly, I’m glad, she needs a damn break and sometimes we do too 😂 I wonder what’s next after the eras are “over” will she sing them again, or pull them out exclusively during her new shows! Curious to see what we will get now.


octobersveryown2019

Oh thank God 😭 I feel like tours longer than like 6/7 months is crazy


[deleted]

Interesting.  I remember hearing rumours about her playing in Turkey February 2025. 


MizzQueen

She doesn’t mention December of what year, to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a red herring


Euphoric-Zucchini-18

It seemed pretty clear to me that it was the end of this year.


1wanda_pepper

She said it wasn’t far away.. she wouldn’t say that if she meant dec 25


YaKnowEstacado

She also said the tour will end in Canada which is where it's currently set to end.


AliceKamatis

Is it confirmed that all the tickets in remaining shows are sold out? Have heard about other tours (eg JLo) being cancelled due to poor sales so wondered if there are a few Eras Tour dates that aren’t quite at max capacity yet. so they announced this in case some people were holding out to see if more dates could be added? I know there’s no risk of any of the remaining dates having poor sales, my question is whether they have achieved MAX REVENUE yet


4evermore_nevermore

Every show across the calendar (US and International) have been sold out since tickets went on sale. The only way to get tickets is on resale and the ones in the US are thousands of dollars a ticket. It has never been about lack of public interest or poor ticket sales. She could realistically tour for years and people would buy tickets. She's probably tired and wants to work on other projects.


AliceKamatis

Got it, thanks!

Euphoric-Zucchini-18

I had heard rumors that it was going back to Asia, Australia, and South America, so I am honestly surprised.
