After 149 shows, an estimated US$2 billion in revenue and countless outfit changes, Taylor Swift takes to the stage tonight in Vancouver for the final show of her record-smashing Eras Tour.

ItB次元官网网址檚 the superstarB次元官网网址檚 third sold-out night at BC Place, where she has received a delirious welcome from Swifties both local and international.

Swift has reciprocated the feeling, telling the audience on Friday night that she chose Canada and Vancouver to close out the tour because the fans not only know the lyrics, they B次元官网网址渟cream them.B次元官网网址�

Swifties have been planning something special to end the tour, with Swift forums abuzz with suggestions to surprise her by singing B次元官网网址淗appy BirthdayB次元官网网址� at tonightB次元官网网址檚 show, ahead of SwiftB次元官网网址檚 35th birthday on Dec. 13.

Fan projects like this have been a big part of the Eras Tour, with chants and patterned clapping breaking out during various songs.

University of Kansas sociology professor and B次元官网网址淪wiftologistB次元官网网址� Brian Donovan says such moments of joyous social solidarity are known as B次元官网网址渃ollective effervescence.B次元官网网址�

B次元官网网址淲hat is interesting about the Eras Tour is that it also brought about unique cultural things like the trading of friendship bracelets,B次元官网网址� he said, noting such practices were fan-driven and were not organized by Swift or her team.

Swiftie Jenny Fox got tickets to SaturdayB次元官网网址檚 show after seeing daughter AveryB次元官网网址檚 reaction to the Eras Tour movie.

B次元官网网址淚 texted my husband in the theatre and said that if this is how it is in a movie theatre, I canB次元官网网址檛 even imagine what it would be like to see and experience this in real life in a massive stadium and to see the joy on AveryB次元官网网址檚 face,B次元官网网址� she said.

University of British Columbia philosophy professor Kimberley Brownlee said SwiftB次元官网网址檚 concerts and the fansB次元官网网址� involvement have provided something B次元官网网址済lorious,B次元官网网址� and a B次元官网网址渏oy we get to share in collectively.B次元官网网址�

Before SwiftB次元官网网址檚 Vancouver dates, she performed six shows in Toronto last month.

Canada was announced as a late addition to the tour last year. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had previously pleaded with the star on social media to visit Canada, telling her B次元官网网址渄onB次元官网网址檛 make it another cruel summer.B次元官网网址�

Trudeau and family members were among Swifties at the Toronto shows, as were former U.S. president Bill Clinton and wife Hillary.

For Fox, attending the tour in Vancouver with her daughter has special meaning.

Fox is the primary caretaker for her own mother, who has late-stage AlzheimerB次元官网网址檚. Music, she said, has become the last connection to the person her mom once was.

B次元官网网址淎s soon as we put certain music on, mom comes back,B次元官网网址� she said.

B次元官网网址淪o music is very near and dear to us. We play a lot of music, and a lot of Taylor Swift with her, so there is that love and memory and special tie to it.B次元官网网址�

She says music endures, and attending The Eras Tour together will be something she and Avery can hold on to.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 something that we will forever remember,B次元官网网址� she said.
