Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s longtime bass player, Amos Heller<\/strong>, looked back at the highs and lows of the Eras tour just two days after the groundbreaking tour came to an end.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s done. No more early lobby calls. No more airports. No more lugging a suitcase and Mono bag up an escalator, through a line, out of baggage claim. No more warming up, no more cooling down. No more looking at my watch 20 times to make sure I don\u2019t miss a call. No more saying goodbye to my family, no more \u2018how many sleeps now?\u2019 No more jet lag,\u201d Amos, 47, began in a lengthy caption alongside photos from the tour posted via Instagram<\/a> on Tuesday, December 10.<\/p>\n

He then added that there were positive things he will miss about the experience, including \u201cno more slipping into new languages, cultures, cuisines, accented pleasantries.\u201d Amos continued, \u201cNo more snow in Tokyo, watch factories in Switzerland, museums in Sweden, bass shops in Australia, steaks in Rio, tattoos in Ireland, runs in Germany, flowers in Amsterdam.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo more walking into a ringing stadium feeling like a gladiator. No more screaming lyrics with a perfect stranger who\u2019s now your best friend. No more Stage Right Obstructeds (my people). No more staring in awe at my family\/friends who just moments ago were sharing a ridiculous joke, suddenly transformed into iconic titans, towering and thriving in the blinding lights,\u201d the bass player wrote. \u201cNo more being called upon to dig the deepest I can, requiring the very best I am capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n

After reflecting on the \u201ccompleted work,\u201d Amos said that the \u201crecord books are closed with fresh ink<\/a> on a lot of pages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve emerged changed. As a player, performer, person, partner. Backstage after the final curtain I let myself sink to my knees for a bit, before laying on the floor gently reminiscing with [backup dancer Tori Evans<\/strong>]. Spent. We lived a lifetime,\u201d he wrote, reflecting on their final show after 149 tour stops. \u201cIf you think it felt like graduation, it did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amos gushed that he felt \u201cso much love and gratitude to be a part of this community<\/a>,\u201d which he\u2019s \u201cbeen privileged to watch grow into so much more than a collective of people who like the same songs.\u201d He added, \u201cThe shooting stars I shared the stage with, a lifelong fellowship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The musician then wrapped up the message by directly speaking to Taylor, 34, whom he has been touring with since 2007. \u201cYou command so much respect and admiration from everyone who\u2019s fortunate enough to add their effort to yours,\u201d he wrote. \u201cYour blend of focus, heart, stamina and joy calls forth the best of everyone around you. Thank you for trusting me with my part of your vision. It was the ride of a lifetime. I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amos concluded the message by writing, \u201cLong live,\u201d which is one of Taylor\u2019s beloved songs from her Speak Now album and was included during the surprise song section during the final Eras tour show in Vancouver on December 8.<\/p>\n

While Taylor has not yet penned a social media post about the tour, she made several references to the tour coming to an end<\/a> during the final show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis tour has been the adventure of a lifetime,\u201d she told the crowd following her performance of \u201cChampagne Problems.\u201d \u201cI speak on behalf of my band \u2026 my fellow performers who all left their families and have spent time away from everything that they know and love and have performed when they were sick. When anything was going on in their lives, they made sure that this show come through [for] you and I just wanted to say that on behalf of all of us, we will never forget you giving us that moment. Thank you, Vancouver.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
