Featuring never before seen live footage the video shows fans filling the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts before switching to behind-the-scenes action.

Swift narrates the opening, saying: “The fans are the best part of this tour. They’re the reason these shows are incredible and I know those fans out there are just all-in.

“I don’t want to forget anything that happened on this tour. It was one of those remarkable moments in time when everything felt exciting.”

Bidding farewell to the 1989 era she finishes by telling fans: “Looking out into an endless ocean of crowd was everything. We’re all really sad that it’s ending but we’re really happy because of what it was.”
