Taylor Swift told fans she handpicked cities with the most ‘enthusiastic’ fans to close out the final shows of her Eras Tour.
The 14-time Grammy winner, 34 — who reportedly spent $360,000 on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s birthday presents — kicked off the final leg of her concert tour in Miami on Friday and plans to wrap the show in Vancouver on December 8.
While preforming in Magic City on Saturday evening, the Mirrorball singer thanked the crowd of screaming fans and revealed she intentionally selected her concert locations.
From our partners:
She singer said: ‘We decided, if we’re going to end this tour, eventually it has to happen, we gotta pick the crowds and the cities and the places where the crowds are going to be passionate, enthusiastic, screaming the words to every single song, like the most fun crowds imaginable,
‘So, there was only one conclusion for how to kick off this last leg, and that is Miami, Florida!’
Swift also surprised the Sunshine State by preforming one of her latest hits Florida!!! — which is not on the setlist but has been previously played live — with guest star Florence Welch.
She also surprised fans as she debuted four new costumes for her stint of shows in The 305.
After wrapping her three-night run, The Lakes singer will jet over to New Orleans, Indianapolis and Canada to round out her stadium tour.
The Eras Tour commenced on March 17 last year in Glendale, Arizona, and grossed well over $1.04 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour in history according to AP.
This comes after she announced she is releasing her first ever book commemorating her historic Eras tour.
It will include never-before-seen photos from over 100 shows, as well as the chance for fans to own The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD.
Good Morning America host Lara Spencer confirmed the news on Tuesday and said the 256-page hardcover book will feature over 500 images
According to the outlet, the Shake It Off singer described the upcoming book as the ‘official retrospective of the most wonderful tour of her life,’ and will cost $39.99.
Taylor also shared a video on Instagram announcing the news and told her fans: ‘We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually.
‘Excited to announce that The Official Eras Tour Book, filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night AND …. The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD will all be available for the first time ever only at @target.’
She confirmed it would be available starting November 29 and added: ‘International info coming soon!’ for the rest of her fans across the globe.
Upon hearing the news, Swifties rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their excitement as one person predicted: ‘She will be conquering the book industry next!’
‘This will be a hit!’ a second fan wrote, while a third posted: ‘Can’t wait to read all the pages,’ and a fourth added: ‘No way, can’t wait to read all the tea!’
Someone else posted: ‘Everything is about to go DOWNNNNN for a book. I genuinely love the chaos Taylor Swift causes,’ while a different person said: ‘This is so funny bc a tour book and a vinyl release is a classic taylor swift move. Like it was actually the most expected announcement.’
