Ultimately, Taylor Swift got more love from the Swifties than she gave out during her final US Eras Tour show on Sunday night (November 3) in Indianapolis. As Swift embarked on a global tour that included nearly 141 shows and her career over the past 20 months, there were tears of joy, sparkling tears, excitement and surprise as she was in the room The last one.
While Sunday’s show was considered by most to be a standard Eras show — without any surprise guests or big announcements that fans were buzzing about before the show — the third night at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis More than 69,000 spectators went home safely as they saw the same genre of top musical masterpieces performed by the Swifties as they performed at the March 2023 tour opening.
However, it was also Eras’ last performance in the United States.
Of course, Swift treated them to another magical mashup of favorites during a surprise song snippet in the city near the end of the show, and just like everyone else, they gratefully handed themselves over to Glitter , songs that are happy to be consumed. With a 330-foot-tall mural of the pop icon plastered on the exterior of a downtown hotel just blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium, the singer strode like a giant across the building to pay tribute to his career and A midwestern town known for its thirst for college sports.

Like other cities on the Eras tour, Indianapolis rolled out the red carpet for the singer before the tour officially ends in Canada later this month with eight shows left. Over the weekend, the state capital became the town of Taylor. Wherever Swift goes, Taylor goes.
More than 30 streets around the city center have been temporarily transformed into Eras Avenue, including The Man Dr., London Boy Ln., So High School St.… Are you ready? Rd., Bad Blood Blvd, and of course Cornelia St., which also happened to be one of the surprise songs on Sunday night.
