Taylor Swift raked in big bucks during her Eras Tour, which wrapped up Sunday in Vancouver, British Columbia, after 149 shows—and $2,077,618,725 in total ticket sales, "double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history," per the New York Times. The paper notes that "Swift has never authorized disclosure of the tour's numbers until now." Swift also shared big in another way, reports People: Over the past 21 months of the tour, the 34-year-old pop phenom doled out $197 million in bonuses to everyone toiling on it, which E! Online notes is about 10% of the Eras Tour's total haul.
By "everyone," People explains that the bonuses went out to "truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, makeup, wardrobe, physical therapists, and [the] video team." It's not the first time we've heard whispers of Swift's generosity: In the summer of 2023, it was reported that the star had given a $100,000 bonus to each big-rig trucker who'd worked on her tour, for $5 million in total.
