Taylor Swift Eras Tour recap: Biggest moments from all 152 concerts

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour held the world's attention for two years. She performed in front of millions of people, broke records and played through heartbreak, illness, rainstorms, and instrument and set malfunctions.

Hollis Kran, a Taylor Swift superfan, has seen the show three times and told Newsweek nothing compares to Swift's performance.

"I love live music and wouldn't turn down an opportunity to go to any concert, but The Eras tour just can't be compared to anything else," Kran said. "Watching her is beyond impressive, but experiencing the collective effervescence in the stadium is unexplainable and I feel so incredibly privileged and lucky to have been able to go all three times."
