Now that the Eras Tour is over, Taylor Swift is eager to take some time off before the holidays.
After wrapping up the Eras Tour with a last stop in Vancouver on Sunday, December 8, Swift, who is celebrating her birthday this week, is “exhausted, but obviously so, so grateful,” an insider exclusively tells PEOPLE.
According to the insider, “she was very emotional about the last few shows in Vancouver.”
The 34-year-old singer of “I Can Do it With a Broken Heart” has a lot to look forward to. Following their first Thanksgiving together, the source claims that Swift and Kelce, whose Kansas City Chiefs play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh on Christmas Day, are “looking forward to the holidays.”
Swift and her family hosted Kelce’s loved ones, including his brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie, in Nashville during Thanksgiving, according to a previous source who spoke to PEOPLE. Swift supported her lover at the Chiefs’ victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Kansas City the following day.
Onstage in Vancouver during the final performance of her 152-show Eras Tour, which started in March 2023, Swift reflected on her record-breaking tour.
During her opening Lover set, she remarked, “We have traveled the world… we have experienced so many adventures.” “It has been the most thrilling, strong, thrilling, intense, and difficult thing I have ever done in my life.” On this tour, we have the opportunity to perform for more than 10 million people.
She later informed the audience, “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,” as she was ready to end the performance with “Karma.”
Everyone who worked on Swift’s tour—truck drivers, caterers, instrument technicians, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, makeup, wardrobe, physical therapists, and the video team—received bonuses totaling $197 million during her nearly two-year tour, according to an exclusive PEOPLE report.
Additionally, she made it a point to give to food banks in every location she traveled to.
The New York Times claims that the Eras Tour’s ticket sales of almost $2 billion are “double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.” The tour also served as the inspiration for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book, the year’s most successful publishing launch, selling an estimated 814,000 copies in its first two days.
Additionally, Swift is the artist with the most streams on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music at the end of the year. She has six nominations going into the 2025 Grammy Awards, including one for album of the year for The Tortured Poets Department.
