And achieving her wildest dreams wasn’t Taylor’s only good karma in 2025. Not only did the Eras Tour allow her to buy her masters, but it also led her to another monumental moment: getting engaged to Travis Kelce in August, two years after their love story began when he publicly announced his disappointment in not meeting her on her Kansas City tour stop in 2023.
“Getting engaged to the love of my life, getting all my music back,” she continued telling host Stephen Colbert, “those were two things that just never could have happened. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, it’s just a matter of time.’ Both those things could have just never arrived in my life. And I’m so grateful for both of those things happening.”
Besides, the Eras Tour wasn’t just life-changing for Taylor—it was huge for her crew (who got $197 million in bonus checks) and for her fans, too. From the friendship bracelets to the “post-concert amnesia” or “joy blackouts” Taylor mentioned hearing of, the tour made an impact that even she didn’t expect.
“We were seeing all this insane demand for the tour, but I just kind of chocked it up to like, I’ve put out like five albums, I haven’t gotten to tour any of them, there’s just built up demand,” Taylor explained. “I didn’t realize it was going to be this until you started hearing about people’s experiences at the show.”
