Gracie Abrams<\/strong> is just like the rest of us \u2014 not quite ready to say goodbye to Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s Eras Tour<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Abrams, 25, who served again as a guest performer during Swift\u2019s final tour show at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday, December 8, took to the stage with a piece of paper prior to her final performance.<\/p>\n

Reading a heartfelt speech to the crowd, which was captured by a fan and posted via TikTok<\/a> that evening, Abrams said she was \u201cnot ready for it to be over,\u201d before paying tribute to the profound effect Swift, 34, has had on her life.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike all of you, I [was] brought up with Taylor\u2019s songs,\u201d Abrams, dressed in an angelic white gown, began. \u201cMagically, needing a moment in my life that I didn\u2019t think anyone else could understand or know or ached or yearned or loved or lost, and yet she did. How are we supposed to have the words for it? We don\u2019t yet. But I do know that we have each other, thanks to Taylor, her music, her generosity, her curiosity, her wild and unparalleled pen, her super power of seeing into our lives and creating soundtracks for every single formative moment we\u2019ve had and that we will have.\u201d<\/p>\n

At one stage, Abrams, who performed a duet<\/a> with Swift during the Saturday, December 7, show performed in Vancouver, became emotional with her voice breaking. The musician, however, pushed on, telling the crowd that her night\u2019s mission was clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all here to remind her how deeply she\u2019s touched us,\u201d Abrams continued. \u201cHow much we appreciate every single tiny detail that she dreams up to delight us and to thank her, from the bottom of our hearts, for giving us the time of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift embarked on the Eras Tour<\/em><\/a> in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023, performing throughout the United States until August 2023. She then embarked on the international leg of her tour, dropping into South America, Asia, Australia and Europe between November 2023 and August.<\/p>\n

In October, Swift returned to North America for a handful of final shows in the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n

Abrams was a self-proclaimed Swifite prior to forming a friendship with Swift, telling Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a> in a July 2023 profile that, \u201cevery formative memory in my life is paired with a Taylor Swift song that helped me get through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly before the pair met, Abrams got a call from an unknown number inviting her to Swift\u2019s birthday party. She immediately called a mutual producer to confirm the digits belonged to Swift before replying in an effort to avoid getting her hopes up if it wasn\u2019t the pop star.<\/p>\n
