🚨| Amos Heller’s about the end of The Eras Tour: It's 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't miss a call. No more saying goodbye to my family, no more "how many sleeps now?" No more jet lag. It's done. No more slipping into new languages, cultures, cuisines, accented pleasantries. No 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. It's done. No more walking into a ringing stadium feeling like a gladiator. No more screaming lyrics with a perfect stranger who's 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. No more being called upon to dig the deepest I can, requiring the very best I am capable of. This is the best I can do now. It's a completed work. We watched it go from What If to How Will It Be to Here We Are to Almost Done to Done. The record books are closed with fresh ink on a lot of pages. I've 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 teetime23 . Spent. We lived a lifetime. If you think it felt like graduation, it did. And @taylorswift13 You command so much respect and admiration from everyone who's fortunate enough to add their effort to yours. Your 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. Long live.
