Taylor Swift plays ultimate goodbye mashup to end final acoustic set of Eras Tour

"Welcome to the very last acoustic section of the Eras Tour," Taylor Swift said to the BC Place Stadium in her shimmery purple-blue dress before playing the ultimate good-bye mashup on Sunday in Vancouver, Canada.

"I was thinking about it," she explained as fans held their breath anticipating an announcement, "because we've had so long to prepare for the end of this tour I was trying to think about what songs really encapsulate how I feel about how I feel so I decided to go back to the beginning."

Swift strummed "Only Place in the World" from her first album and mixed in "New Romantics" from "1989 (Taylor's Version)."

As she finished and walked to the piano, Swift sat down and played a few keys of the fandom's anthem, "Long Live" from "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)." The slowed down ballad sent electric chills through the Vancouver audience.

She changed a word from the first verse, "It was the end of an era, but the start of an age."

Then she folded in "New Year's Day" from "Reputation" and "The Manuscript" from "The Tortured Poets Department."

The piano composition ended with the final lines of "The Manuscript": "The only thing that's left is the manuscript, one last souvenir from my trip to your shores, now and then I reread the manuscript, but the story isn't mine anymore."

The very first piano song on the tour was the first track, "Tim McGraw," of her first album, and the final song was the final track, "The Manuscript," of her final album.

And with that the record-shattering tour comes to a close. So long, Eras Tour.
