Taylor Swift Gives Out An Astounding $197 Million In Bonuses To All Workers On Her ‘Eras Tour’

Throughout the two-year duration of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, the singer gave out $197 million to all of her staff. 

Swift thanked her team generously for all of the hard work they put into 149 shows across five continents – including truck drivers, instrument techs, caterers, hair and makeup artists, wardrobe stylists, videographers, lighting and sound techs, production staff and assistants, physical therapists and carpenters. 

Last August, the songwriter concluded the U.S. leg of her tour, surprising each of her truck drivers with a bonus amounting to $100,000. However, this gracious act was only a small token of appreciation for the $50 million she had handed out thus far.

The Eras Tour officially wrapped up on Sunday, Dec. 8 in Vancouver. Swift took the stage to show appreciation to her loyal fanbase, who supported her record-breaking tour. 

“We have toured the entire world,” she said. “We have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”

Later, she said, “I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date — my beloved Eras Tour.”

At the singer’s final show, her production team confirmed that  10,168,008 people attended the Eras Tour — and that it sold $2,077,618,725 in total tickets, making it the most sold tour of all time and “double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.”

In addition to Swift’s record-breaking tour, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music each announced that the singer was their most streamed artist of the year.
