Taylor Swift bass player says Eras Tour ‘felt like graduation’

Taylor Swift’s bass player, Amos Heller, has written a heartfelt note as the band marks an end to Eras tour.

With her last show in Vancouver this week, Swift has competed a 152 concerts in the past year and Heller is paying an ode of the good times he lived with the star.

Turning to his Instagram, Heller wrote: “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.”

He added: “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,” he wrote. “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.”

“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,” he wrote.

Heller then concluded: “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 [dancer Tori Evans]. Spent. We lived a lifetime. If you think it felt like graduation, it did.”
