Swift's Mega Eras Tour Ends in Vancouver


Swift wowed fans in Vancouver for her last three concerts


Yesterday when we were waiting at Palm Springs International Airport for our flight back to Vancouver, we spotted some Swifties in their nifty blue sweatshirts that said "Taylor Swift The Eras Tour".

They were probably from Palm Springs and scored tickets to the last three concerts of the Eras Tour and flew to Vancouver this past weekend.

We spotted at least 10 Swifties in their blue sweatshirts and one with a beige hoodie, so there were probably even more on the flight.

Swift ended her 150 concerts spread over five continents to more than 10 million fans on Sunday night at BC Place stadium. 

This morning fans were gushing to the media about how genuine Swift is, how amazing concert the concert was, as the artist performed practically non-stop for three and a half hours. 

Earlier one fan had shelled out C$1,500 in tickets only to discover that she had been scammed. After she was interviewed on the radio, an anonymous donor gifted her two tickets and she was crying in gratitude. 

A friend tried desperately to get tickets for her and her 13-year-old daughter to go, but couldn't; the went downtown anyway to soak up the vibes with thousands of others and still had a good time.

Destination Vancouver had projected the city would get a boost of some C$157 million from Swift's concerts and it probably happened thanks to jacked up prices for hotels, parking spaces, Uber, food and drinks. 

But Swifties were pretty much prepared to shell out to see their idol who they have grown up with for over 10 years. There were lots of mothers and daughters in the audience, fathers with daughters, all buoyed by Swift's magnetism and energy. 

For many of them her vibe is that of positivity, girl power, friendship (the friendship bracelets), and kindness. She is known to donate to food banks in every city she performed in, the amount is unknown. That inspired one fan to try to raise 1.3 million for food banks in Canada. 

Although Swift's Eras Tour is over, fans are still basking in their memories of the concerts, and by the looks of it, for some time to come, while Swift probably made over US$2 billion in the past two years. With her 35th birthday just days away, she has a lot to celebrate.
