Taylor Swift Awards Crew $55 Million In Bonuses

Taylor Swift gave her Eras Tour crew $55 million bonuses as she finished up the Unites States leg of the tour. This included riggers, dancers, caterers, sound technicians and all the production staff that assisted her. 

The truck drivers that transported all her materials received $100,000 in bonuses totaling $5 million to the entire department. 

Her last performance will be in Los Angeles at the SoFi Stadium on August 9. All of her six shows this week were sold out at the arena. 

From the entire tour, Swift made around $300 million after she sold more than two million tickets. The series of concerts were extremely popular as she hasn’t been on tour since 2018 at the Reputation Stadium Tour. 

Swift sang her new album Midnights, which she released in 2022, and a variety of songs from all her albums in the past ten years. 

Swift recently announced that she added more dates to the concerts, including Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Poland and Austria. Many celebrity guests have also been spotted in the audience and joining her onstage. This includes Gigi Hadid, Patrick Ta, Mark Zuckerberg, Simu Liu, Julia Roberts, Drew Barrymore and more. 

On July 7, her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner made a special appearance after she released her new music video for “I Can See You.” She spoke about her relationship with Lautner on stage saying, “He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the Speak Now album. He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”
