- Taylor Swift saluted cheering fans with a wine glass after Wednesday night's Eras Tour show.
- She was celebrating the last night of the first leg of the tour at SoFi Stadium in California.
Taylor Swift had a lot to celebrate on Wednesday night, and she did so by saluting cheering fans with a wine glass as she exited the stage at SoFi Stadium.
A video posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, shows Swift walking behind the stage at the last show on the first leg of the Eras Tour, as she does every night.
But this time, as she met stands of cheering fans in the obstructed view seats of the football stadium, she saluted them with a wine glass in celebration of the feat.

Swift is in the middle of the 146-show Eras Tour, which concluded its first mammoth leg in Inglewood, California, Wednesday night.
At Wednesday's show, notably held on August 9 — or 8/9 — Swift announced her next re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version), will drop on October 27.
Swift is known to tease her fans with "Easter eggs," or hints about her upcoming music and projects. Fans long suspected there might be a 1989 (Taylor's Version) announcement at Wednesday's show because of the significance of the date and the fact that it was the last show of the first US leg of the tour.
She also showed off new costumes — each in the 1989-coded light blue — for the Speak Now, Folklore, 1989, and Midnights eras at the show, in addition to a new dress for the "surprise song" portion, during which she made the 1989 (Taylor's Version) announcement.
Swift heads to Mexico City at the end of the month for a four-show stint before taking some time off between legs.
