Taylor Swift’s final night on the Eras Tour came with an extra dose of emotion and a soccer game in the background.
As the world tour wrapped up in Vancouver on December 8, 2024, the pop superstar found herself balancing the biggest night of her career with supporting her fiancé Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Swift, 36, last took the stage during the record-breaking tour on the same Sunday the Chiefs played the Los Angeles Chargers in Kansas City.
A moment behind the scenes of its Disney+ docuseries The end of an era shows how closely she was following the match in the hours leading up to her performance.
Wearing a Chiefs sweatshirt, Swift entered her dressing room and asked, “Did you play the game?” while the match was being played on television.
Sitting alongside her father, Scott Swift, she reacted in real time, clapping and audibly stressing during key moments.
“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God… Thank you sir, I need them to keep running away with this,” she exclaimed as the game unfolded.
Scott couldn’t help but point out how unexpected this moment was.
Swift agreed, joking, “I never thought you and I would talk about sports in my life. I mean, that hadn’t happened when I was 32.” Her father quickly added, “I just waited.”
Despite the high stakes of her latest show, Swift insisted she could handle both worlds.
While she was practicing her surprise songs, she kept looking at the screen.
During a journey of New romanticsshe even changed the lyrics, singing, “Get this first, please.” » When the Chiefs scored, she abruptly stopped rehearsing to yell “Touchdown!” » while Scott laughed.
“Yes! Oh shit. If everything goes my way, the kind of day I’m about to have…” she said, clearly feeling a lucky streak.
The Chiefs ultimately won 19-17, capturing their ninth straight AFC West title. Later that night, Swift closed out the Eras tour, marking the end of a defining chapter in her career.
Reflecting on the trip in voiceover, she admitted that the tour consumed almost everything.
“I think after this tour it would be nice to revive some of the things that I had to cut out of my life,” she said. “I’ll let you know.”
For Swift, the night was a reminder that even at the biggest moment of her career, love, family and a Chiefs touchdown still mattered just as much.
