From ten million fans to 149 shows, Taylor Swift Eras Tour by numbers as she prepares for huge final show
I WAS lucky enough to go to Taylor's Eras Tour three times over the summer, each one in London.
For many, the idea of sitting through a concert twice would raise an eyebrow - let alone going to the same three and a bit hour show three times on the trot.
But each night was nothing short of spectacular and to be honest… I'd have gone for a fourth or fifth time had the opportunity arrisen.
It's hard to explain to someone who wasn't there but the atmosphere was nothing short of magical - something I'm sure parents up and down the country would agree with.
Sure, I've been to gigs where the atmosphere was electric but rather than being booze charged, The Eras Tour seemingly was fueled on joy.
Almost everyone was in some sort of themed outfit - with balding middle aged dads getting in on the act, much to the amusement of their daughters.
I have to admit each of my trips to the Eras Tour also saw me don some makeshift themed outfit.
Even the police joined in, sharing their own friendship bracelets with Swifties and their parents.
Longer than The Lord of The Rings or any of the Harry Potter films, The Eras Tour has changed the game when it comes to pop concerts.
Only Bruce Springsteen comes to mind when it comes to giving fans such a long show.
And despite his talent, I'm pretty sure he never underwent 16 costume changes or dived into his stage as if jumping into a river.
Taylor's back catalogue of hits is remarkable and even dragged along to the gigs found it hard not to find themselves singing along.
For the majority of the crowd, seeing Taylor belt out her hits was nothing short of a religious experience.
Like so many before her, Taylor hates repeating herself.
So as she takes her final bow, Taylor does so knowing she's made history and given the world something the like we may never see again
