Taylor Swift's final show felt like 'last day of school'

The final show of Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' felt like "the last day of school" because so many people were crying backstage, according to the singer's opening act Gracie Abrams.

Gracie opened for the singer on the last leg of the trek and was there for the final show in Vancouver, Canada on December 8 and she's revealed it was highly emotional backstage because everyone was "crying" and signing each other's tour books.

Speaking to Nylon magazine, Gracie explained: "Everyone had been crying all day. It felt like the last day of school backstage.

"Everyone was walking around with their ['The Eras Tour'] books, signing each other’s books. We were all walking around with Sharpies."

It was also emotional for dancer Kameron Saunders, who was a regular on the tour, as he admitted he couldn't stop crying after the final show.

In a post on Instagram, he wrote: "I have not stopped crying since Sunday ... and because of that simple fact, I’m not quite ready with the proper words to encapsulate this entire experience and the past 2 years of my life so guys PLEASE be patient with me as I navigate how best to do that …

"BUT what I can and am ready to do is say thank you to my Boss Lady!

"Taylor! My girl! You have steered the HELL out of this ship. So gracefully!! With poise, confidence, heart, passion, kindness, utter bravery and love!!!

"Every SECOND of this with you I felt seen, honored, celebrated, valued, respected … babe, I would follow you anywhere at any time in any universe in EVERY lifetime."

He added: "It has been the honor of my life to have been at your side night after night! ... I love you! Thank you!"

The 34-year-old pop superstar sold more than $2 billion worth of tickets and performed for more than 10 million people across five continents over 149 dates before bringing the shows to an end in Vancouver - and she made sure to say thank you during her final appearance on stage.

In a video posted on X - previously known as Twitter - Taylor was seen telling the crowd: "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'. Thank you for being with us tonight."

During the final show, Taylor also called the trek "the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging" experience of her life.
