Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour crew worked tirelessly, and she rewarded them well beyond their regular salaries.
Over the past two years, Swift has paid out a total of $197 million in “bonuses” to her entire tour crew. The list of recipients includes everyone involved in her shows, down to the smallest jobs: truck drivers, servers, instrument technicians, merchandising, lighting, sound, production staff, dancers, security, choreographers, pyrotechnicians, and more.
In August 2023, upon completing the first leg of the North American tour, People confirmed that Swift had given more than $55 million in bonuses to the crew.
After 2 years, Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” has officially ended.
The 34-year-old singer wrapped up her tour at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver on December 8, 2024. The Eras Tour kicked off in March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona, and ran for 149 shows.
Before ending with the song Karma and bowing to the audience one last time, Swift emotionally shared: “I want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the most exciting chapter of my life – this beloved Eras Tour.”
At the end of the tour, Taylor Swift Touring confirmed to the New York Times that more than 10.1 million people attended the tour, bringing in a total ticket revenue of more than $2.07 billion. This achievement made the Eras Tour the most successful tour of all time, double the revenue of any previous concert tour.
