When Taylor Swift kicked off her globetrotting tour two years ago, little did fans know its conclusion would convey the feelings of the end of an era. But the final stretch has always been unsparing no matter how many times Swift summons ‘Back to December.’ After making the world dance to its beats and turning this era into a dream come true for countless fans and A-listers alike, the lessons learned from the Eras Tour culminated in a graduation day jubilation, particularly for Gracie Abrams.

While showbiz stars have likened the tour to a cultural spectacle and a global milestone that redefined the concept of concert tours, recent parallels drawn by Abrams tip off the hat for Swift on the Class of 2023-2024. 

10 days have gone by since Taylor Swift sang her parting tune with one last welcome to the Eras Tour. While many fan accounts of this bittersweet ride have surfaced on social media, Gracie Abrams joined the Swifties to talk about hers, reminiscing about the final memories like it was “the last day of school backstage.” In a recently published interview with Nylon, Abrams, who opened 49 Eras shows including the last stop at the Great North, recounted the emotional baggage that followed. 

According to Abrams, December 8 was a tearful night, where “everyone was walking around with their [Eras Tour] books” to get them signed. Everyone reportedly carried their “Sharpies” for the graduation day. Swift had her fair share of breakdowns when the conclusion was looming overhead, but Abrams’ emotional turbulence began when it got too real. With heartfelt gratitude, Abrams opened up about the experience, admitting her “state of shock” on behalf of the “global community” that they will no longer get to be a part of that cultural showcase.

Speaking of her time at the Eras Tour, Gracie Abrams doubled down on the idea of the last day of school by thanking Taylor Swift for the ultimate learning experience.

Taylor Swift designed the Eras Tour as a wish-granting workshop. But it took its global footprints to affirm this conditioning applied to fans and A-listers alike. In her conversation with Nylon, Gracie Abrams recalled the Eras Tour’s final show as her last chance to soak up each and every moment of the concert, having observed it with hawk eyes for a year and a half. “Every time I’ve opened for her, I watch and learn,” Abrams stated.

The experience was so fulfilling for the 25-year-old that even conversing with the pop queen on the weather was a crash course in knowledge. Even for the shows she did not open, Abrams watched them on “live streams.” Trying to find someone who resists Swift’s charm is an exercise in futility. It is as if every graduate has earned a PhD in Swiftology, making her playbook the ultimate guide of lessons learned in this era.
