The pop star also gave a speech at the event. She said: “I’ve never had as much fun in my life as I did on the Eras Tour. Just the most electrifying experience of my life, and the reason for that is a few things like my band, my dancers and the crew.”
“We made this show in sickness and in health, no matter what was going on in our lives,” she continued. “And we did it with a smile on our face because of what greeted us on the other side.”
The hitmaker also took to social media that night to announce that the film was hitting theaters a day early and expressed her excitement for the release.
“Look what you honestly made me do,” she wrote in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
