Now a global superstar, Swift recently completed the 100th show on her blockbuster Eras Tour at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England. Following her three shows at the venue, she shared a reflective and celebratory Instagram post. Swift expressed gratitude to her Liverpool fans, noting their expressiveness and generosity, and revealed they broke the all-time stadium attendance record.

She thanked everyone who attended any of the shows on ‘The Eras Tour’, calling it "the adventure of a lifetime" because of them.

The Eras Tour continues at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, before its European leg runs through August. Swift will then return to North America for shows in the United States and Canada, concluding in Vancouver.
