Swift wrapped the tour with a final concert in Vancouver.

“We have toured the entire world with this tour. We have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. We’ve got to perform for over 10 million people on this tour."

Fans were in impressed by her generosity, which they saw as a real sign of success.


Folks pointed out that this generosity to the crew who work her tours is not a new thing for Swift.



Of course, there were those who asked "why not more?"




It's never too late to learn something new.

As the tour winds down, Swift seemed to be hinting at future projects like new songs, or at least a movie version of the tour for those who couldn't see it live.
