Taylor Swift’s sweet moment with mom Andrea Swift after final show in New Orleans goes viral

Taylor Swift has melted fans’ hearts after she was spotted hugging her mom at the end of one of her Eras Tour shows in New Orleans while being followed by a camera crew.

The singer-songwriter kicked off the final leg of her tour on October 18, on which she first embarked in March 2023. A lot has transpired since the tour first started, as Swift has dropped two Taylor’s Version re-recordings of her albums—2010’s Speak Now and 2014’s 1989—as well as her entirely new 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department. The Eras Tour has also gone on to be the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.

Swift is also believed to be recording a tell-all Eras Tour documentary sharing how the 149 shows were created.

Now a video has gone viral online of Swift giving her mom, Andrea Swift, two long hugs after performing at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on October 27. It was the third and final night of the tour’s sold-out weekend at the Superdome.

Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Swift for comment on Tuesday.

In the clip, Swift can be seen waving at fans as she walks off stage before embracing her mom. The video was first uploaded to TikTok by user @kalynmarie4 with the caption: “This moment of the concert was everything.”

The video was then shared to X, formerly Twitter, by the account Taylor Swift Updates with the caption: “Taylor hugging her mom after the show last night while being followed by the camera crew for the 6th show in row!”

At the time of writing, the post had been viewed more than 939,000 times.

“They have such a close bond [two hearts emoji] beautiful! Extra special moment for both of them!” one person commented.

“Taylor and her mom sharing a heartwarming moment together is pure magic!” said another.

People have also used the opportunity to theorize about the documentary, with one person posting: “we are SOOOO getting that documentary.”

“DOCUMENTARY PLEASE KWEEN,” said another.

According to media reports, the pop superstar will also document her experience of dealing with traumatic events while on the road, such as the Southport knife attack in England, which saw two children die and another nine injured—six critically—during a Swift-themed yoga and dance class for kids.

In a statement on Instagram, Swift said she was “completely in shock,” writing: “The horror of yesterday’s attack in Southport is washing over me continuously… These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.”

The documentary will also reportedly touch on the foiled terror plot that saw her forced to cancel three shows in Vienna, Austria. Security for the shows was heightened after a 19-year-old was arrested in Ternitz, about an hour south of Vienna, and a second person was arrested in the Austrian capital. However, Event organizer Barracuda Music later called off the concerts, saying that “we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety.”

Swift took to Instagram to express her devastation over the cancellations and her gratitude to the authorities, writing: “Thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives.”

The Eras Tour will continue through December 8, when it will wrap in Vancouver, Canada.

On November 29, Swift will release The Eras Tour Book, featuring 500 photographs from the tour, as well as never-before-seen behind-the-scenes images. Swift will also release the full version of The Tortured Poets Department called The Anthology on vinyl and CD. Both the book and these album editions will be available to purchase at Target stores.
