Taylor Swift made a major announcement on-stage during her Eras tour this week, confirming that the mammoth tour would indeed come to an end in December.

Swift’s career-spanning Eras stadium tour began on March 17, 2023, and has so far played across the US, South America, Australia, Asia and Europe.

Swift is currently in the UK, where she made a special announcement for the 100th show of the tour in Liverpool on Thursday.

Acknowledging the milestone, Swift said that having done 100 shows “blows my mind. That doesn’t feel like a real statistic to me because this has definitely been the most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life this forth. These moments with you.”

She told the audience that she would mark the occasion by publicly confirming for the first time that the tour would end in December. The final shows of the tour are currently scheduled to take place in Vancouver, Canada on December 6, 7, and 8.

It’s not yet known if Swift has any more final shows up her sleeve for that month to cap off the tour.

“The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December,” she said.

Swift still has around 50 shows to perform until she gets there, with stops across Europe and the US.

“That’s it, and that feels like so far away from now, but then again it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows that we have on the whole tour,” she continued.

With 152 shows planned, by the time Eras finishes it will have been Swift’s longest tour, almost tripling the 53 shows of her last jaunt, 2018’s Reputation world tour.

And it hasn’t made a dint on her musical output: Since playing her first show in March last year, Swift’s released a new studio double album, The Tortured Poets Department, and two “Taylor’s version” rerecordings of her previous albums, Speak Now and 1989.

But amid all this pop cultural domination, it seems some are tiring of Swift’s antics: She courted controversy this week when she blocked pop star Charli XCX’s acclaimed latest album Brat from the top spot of the UK charts, releasing new variants of her latest album to push it back into the top spot. XCX’s Brat, which includes the song Sympathy is a Knife, which has some prickly lyrics rumoured to be about Swift, had to settle for the number two spot.
