With the Eras Tour over, what does Taylor Swift have up her sleeve next? What we know
We hereby conduct this postmortem. The Eras Tour is officially done. The confetti has been swept up from the floor in BC Place Stadium. The dancers have hung up their magenta "Karma" jackets. The staff have rolled the "cleaning cart" and "Folklore" cottage into a truck. And the singer has put her Louboutin heels — that have helped her dance a half marathon every night — back in the closet.
After two years traversing five continents, Taylor Swift's award-winning, $2.1 billion adventure came to an end Sunday night in Vancouver, Canada.
So what's next for Miss Americana? (Other than some well deserved rest.)

After a year of wishful thinking, fans didn't get a rerecorded album announcement like Swift did for her third and fifth eras in Nashville and Inglewood, California. The singer does have two of her albums left to rerelease: "Reputation (Taylor's Verison)" and "Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)." The trademarks for both albums — that her team filed to register on Aug. 16, 2022 — will expire on Aug. 16, 2025, if she doesn't prove she's using them in commerce.

The singer is always writing with her quill, fountain or glitter gel pens. In her official Eras Tour book released on Black Friday, the singer ended the foreword with "See you next era..."
The greatest films of all time
The vague ellipses could also be pointing toward a film project. Fans spotted a surprising amount of cameras including flyover rigs and a cinematic crane or jib sectioned off on the floor. The only other city where Swift had a noticeable number of cameras and wore the same outfits three nights in a row was SoFi Stadium, where she shot the Eras Tour movie available on Disney+. The repeated wardrobe is significant, because the Eras Tour ringleader switches up her 80 clothing pieces for every show.
Following the Eras Tour:I spent a year covering Taylor Swift's concert around the world. Here's what it was like
Speaking of production crews, they've been following Swift for months, maybe since the 2022 rehearsals. Swifties nabbed videos of crews following the singer, her family and audience members inside arenas since Wembley Stadium in August. The mom of a "22" hat recipient in Miami said a camera captured Swift's team walking up to her daughter Blake Stiebel and filming her reaction. Could a documentary be in the works?
Then, there's a deal that Searchlight Pictures announced in 2022. The day after releasing her "All Too Well - The Short Film" video, the production studio announced Swift had written an original script and was poised to direct it. Then, she embarked on the Eras Tour.
So when I touch down
Swift has only attended Chiefs home games this NFL season, and she had a perfect attendance record until Sunday night's game in Arrowhead Stadium conflicted with the final night of the Eras Tour. The singer-songwriter is familiar with the security and staff in Kansas City. There is one Chiefs' home game left in the regular season on Dec. 21 against the Houston Texans. Kick-off begins at 1 p.m. ET.
She may also attend the Christmas matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Acrisure Stadium. Last year, her parents went with her to the Dec. 25 game, and her brother Austin dressed as Santa Clause (granted that was at Arrowhead).

Other projects to watch
Swift has filed to register several trademarks in 2024 including: "Female Rage: The Musical" and "Taylor-Con." While the paperwork says what the singer intends to use the trademark for, such as live entertainment and merchandise, it doesn't give specifics on her vision.
Swift said in her book, "There's nothing I hate more than doing what I've always done." If the future-minded thinker had a business mantra, this would be it.
She'll keep the fandom guessing until she's ready to announce.
