Most recently, Swift has confirmed that her career-spanning show, the ‘Eras’ tour, will come to an end this December. The tour began in March 2023, and has recently crossed its 100th show. Swift will perform for one night in Cardiff today (June 18) and three in London’s Wembley Stadium on June 21-23. She then heads to Dublin on June 28, before taking the tour around Europe.

Following her European stint, she will return to North America for her last grouping of ‘Eras’ concerts in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis in October and November and then Canada. Her last show for the year – and seeming the ‘Eras’ tour as a whole – is currently slated for December 8 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
