And while Taylor has not yet addressed the end of her record-breaking tour, which first began in March 2023, she has previously reflected on the gravity of this moment in her life.
“This is the proudest and happiest I’ve ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I’ve ever been,” Taylor gushed of the tour in a 2023 interview with Time, also noting the amount of space the tour took up in her life. “I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed. That’s part of my identity as a human being now.”
Indeed, Taylor—who did countless hours of cardio and dance training to prepare and maintain her fitness for the shows—also has shared that the end of this chapter in her career didn’t feel possible for her.
“It’s taken over everything,” she reflected while on stage this summer in Liverpool. “I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they are anymore, because all I do when I’m not onstage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups, and think about what you might want to hear.”
