Taylor Swift was in celebration as she sipped a glass of wine at the closing concert of the first US leg of her Eras tour on Wednesday at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium.
The 33-year-old singer – whose former best friend Karlie Kloss was present at the closing show after rumors of a lesbian romance between the pair surfaced – looked delighted as she sipped white wine and toasted her fans in the 70,000-seat stadium .
The star, whose tour is moving to South America and kicking off in Mexico City on August 24, wowed in a purple sequined dress and flat leather boots as she marked 53 dates on the record-breaking tour.
After the curtain fell and she headed for a well-deserved break, Taylor was seen dancing off the stage and slowly raising her glass to the screaming fans.
During the concert, Taylor announced that her next re-release would be her 2014 hit album 1989.

The superstar revealed the re-recording will be out in October and will feature five new tracks.
Taylor revealed the album art on her Instagram page after the show and gushed that it’s “my FAVORITE re-recording I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane.” I can’t believe that they were ever left behind.’
The 2014 album, which originally contained 13 songs in the standard version and 16 songs in the deluxe edition, includes their hit singles Shake It Off and Blank Space, among others.
Taylor’s message sparked a buzz at SoFi Stadium in California as she teased:
“So here we are on the final night of the US leg of the Eras tour in month eight of the year, day nine,” before telling audiences that she’s “planned this for a long time.”
Taking to Instagram, Taylor gushed, “Surprise!! 1989 Taylor’s version is on its way to you. The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways and it fills me with great excitement to announce that my version of it will be released on October 27th.
The 1989 Taylor’s version has been rumored by fans for weeks, with the star dropping Easter eggs for Swifties during her current world tour.
Ahead of their LA performances, SoFi Stadium released four revealing photos with references to the 1989 album.

Taylor re-recorded her previous albums after a dispute with her old label, Big Machine Records.
So far she released Fearless (Taylor’s Version) Red (Taylor’s Version) before Speak Now last month.
In 2019, Taylor used her Tumblr to reveal that “thug” Scooter Braun — the manager of Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and many others — has taken over the label she was previously with – Big Machine Records.
His company Ithaca Holdings LLC bought Big Machine Label Group for an alleged $300 million.
The deal included the master recordings of all six of her albums – all of her music to date and her legacy.
In her Tumblr post, Taylor slammed Scooter as well as Big Machine Label Group CEO Scott Borchetta, revealing that she wasn’t offered the opportunity to buy her own masters and that the former had been bullying her for years.
Kloss’ presence at the show came as a shock to Swift fans — Swift didn’t attend any of Kloss’s weddings to Joshua Kushner, and the model’s close bond with Scooter Braun may have been the final nail in the coffin.
But Kloss – who previously vowed she would “always have Swift’s back” but is managed by Braun – sat in the audience as the Grammy-winning actress took the stage at SoFi Stadium.
