Taylor Swift has wrapped her epic Eras Tour with a final show in Canada, and fans have noticed a sweet moment that took place between her family during the concert's surprise song.
The "Anti-Hero" singer has been on the road since March 2023, having started in Glendale, Arizona, before traveling all over the U.S. and heading to South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. It has gone on to be the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, with The New York Times reporting that Swift's tour sold a total of just over $2,077,618,725 in tickets.
Swift plays more than 40 songs at each show, which are grouped into the different eras of her career. She also includes surprise songs from her back catalog, usually performing them during an acoustic set that has become beloved by concertgoers.

Now a video has gone viral online of Swift's parents and her brother hugging each other during the last show, when the surprise mashup of "Never Grow Up" and "The Best Day" was playing.
Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Swift for comment on Monday outside of normal business hours.

Swift previously enjoyed a sweet moment with her mom, Andrea, and brother Austin after the singer finished the last of her Eras Tour shows in Toronto. Concertgoers spotted the pop superstar walking offstage at the end of her concert, where her two family members were waiting for her, surrounded by a professional camera crew.
The singer gave her mom a long embrace and then hugged Austin, while Andrea waved to people in the stands who were cheering them on. The trio then walked into the backstage area as the camera crew followed.
Swift also melted fans' hearts when she was spotted giving her mom two long hugs after performing at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was the third and final night of the tour's sold-out weekend at the Superdome.
Swift's family has been by her side throughout the Eras Tour and her career. The singer discovered her love of music at a young age, and when she was 14, the family traveled to Nashville to help her achieve her dream of becoming a star.
"I never wanted to make that move about her 'making it,'" Andrea previously told Entertainment Weekly.
"Because what a horrible thing if it hadn't happened, for her to carry that kind of guilt or pressure around. We've always told her that this is not about putting food on our table or making our dreams come true."
That move ended up being a good decision as, at the age of 14, Swift secured a record deal with Sony in 2004, becoming the label's youngest signing in its history. She then signed with Big Machine Records the next year.
