We are nearing the end of an era — in fact, we are nearing the end of some in a sense. 12/8 Taylor Swift's Eras Tour era ends with the final show of their record-breaking tour in Vancouver, Canada.

Swift has decided to mark the tour with the Eras Tour Book and release it on Black Friday. The book was finally made available (at least for those brave fans who braved the Black Friday crowd at Target), and it was a particularly personal note to readers at the beginning of the show's backstage

book, which Swift described as "the longest and most ambitious show I've ever tried" (Eras tour lengths averaged 3 hours). She described the process of developing the process of creating (15 minutes, 45 songs were played), and she explained that she had to work for "physically and mentally tough" to pull off the concept.

Obviously, she did pull off the concept, but true to form, Swift could not resist at least a little fun, especially in her opening notes for a book focused on looking back.

After reflecting on the Age tour for the whole page, she closed a note to the reader with a handwritten message: "See the next era to you.".."

she didn't suggest exactly what that next era would look like, but she summed up what made the Eras Tour era special — and told the reader that the beauty of life is that a new era is always coming, and in the brilliant flame of a magical moment "in the waves, step by step, they are coming." It reminded me.

"For them, being only one night is an honor of a lifetime," Swift wrote. "And we're all on our own in this big scary life, but somehow it doesn't feel that way when we're singing the same words as 80,000 others wearing glittering face paint." Life comes in a brilliant flame of magical moments, step by step, like waves, and all of these things come together...We do it because it creates an era."Of course, this is not new — that's the point that Swift has been making for years, especially in an interview with Time Person of The Year in 2023.

"There is nothing permanent," she said at the time. "So, I'm very careful to appreciate every second that I'm doing this at this level because it's been taken away from me before. 1 Thing I've learned: My reaction to what happens, whether good or bad, is to keep making things. Keep making art.”
