The End Of The 1989 World Tour

What a year it as been and now The 1989 World Tour has come to an end in Melbourne, Australia with 3 sold out shows at AAMI Park.

 Taylor's final leg of The 1989 World Tour was an interesting on that is for sure. Taylor headed down under a week before she was due in Sydney to play for the largest crowd on The 1989 World Tour for what seemed to be a spot of music video filming and creating a game the world tried to play along the way.

Where in the World is Taylor Swift? That is what the world called it while Taylor was under the radar and being secretive. Where was she? It was eventually proven after she was spotted getting off a private jet, that she was in New Zealand. New Zealand had been skipped of getting a tour date as part of The 1989 World Tour so what was she doing in the country?

After people saw who they believed to be Taylor and a film crew, it is believed that she had come to this part of the world to film a new music video. The speculation is that the new single and video is Out Of The Woods and as radio stations start to play Out Of The Woods on air it seems to be true however is no official word from Taylor or her management on what the next single might be.

Taylor then headed to Sydney to perform at ANZ Stadium to 76,000 people, making it one of largest crowds she had ever played for and the biggest crowd on The 1989 World Tour. The Sydney show was the one show singled out during the Australia tour and it was only for good reasons. The Sydney show was professionally filmed for what is believed to be a world tour DVD. This filming meant Taylor performed "All You Had To Do Was Stay" and "This Love". These performances were special because the songs had not been performed on over half of the US leg of the tour but they were performed initially in Tokyo and also in Singapore and Shanghai.
The day after the concert, Taylor was again spotted in New Zealand, this time in Queenstown getting off her private jet and then visiting a local restaurant for dinner. The next day Taylor and her brother Austin, along with Mum Andrea posted a few photos showing off their little road trip in the South Island before she headed up to Hamilton Island north of Brisbane for a few days.

The final shows before Melbourne were in Adelaide where Taylor was very much welcomed after skipping the city on her tour of Australia for The RED Tour in 2013.

The Adelaide shows were one of the smaller shows in the tour but that the fans seemed to mind, A better view for everyone who attended and who doesn't love being up close to Taylor.

The last night of the tour was an emotional one for all involved and for fans around the world. Its the end of a spectacular, thrilling, exciting tour that has covered 85 shows across 4 continents and played to more than 1.5 Million fans. All the months of planning and rehearsals paid off as the show and its massive crew made its way around the world.

As Taylor closed up the final show in Melbourne she hugged each person on stage after playing "Shake It Off" for the final time. There have also been many emotional tweets and posts from the band, dancers and back up singers on the ending of a whirlwind, magical year.


As for where Taylor is heading next as the new year approaches? Who knows and Taylor doesn't know herself. There has been rumors going around that Taylor will take an extended break from music and we wont get any new music for a few years.
Personally I don't think we will have to wait quite that long. Music and the inspiration behind the songs is not something you can just turn off and ignore for a while. Taylor is always writing and just because she is on a break its not going to stop her from writing and recording as and when she feels the need to do so.

Will she continue her pattern and release another album in late 2016? I don't know. Taylor doesn't know. I hope so. If Taylor is not ready to release another album yet then I respect that decision. Taylor deserves to just relax and take it easy for a while.

My Dearest Taylor, Thank you for putting on such a spectacular 1989 World Tour. Seeing you in Sydney was the best night I had in a long time and the year long wait and all the money I spent on flights to see the show was so worth every penny. For playing the full setlist for us which included All You Had To Do Was Stay and This Love made the show even more special.

I hope you have a great 26th Birthday in Melbourne Taylor, Make it special.
Happy Birthday Beautiful.
