'A temporary bump': Taylor Swift's effect on inflation and tourism during the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift fans know all too well the costs that come with travelling to see the singer live on her Eras Tour.

Taylor Swift fans know all too well the costs that come with travelling to see the singer live on her Eras Tour.

But for many Swifties it is worth the price.

“We were on the floor and quite close to Taylor, and the fans were really fun,” said Hayley Cattell, who saw Swift in Dublin last month.

“We met people from all around the world. It was definitely the best location to go.”

Cattell flew from Saskatchewan to Europe at the end of June and estimated her entire two-and-a-half week trip cost less than it would for her to fly within Canada to see the Eras show later this year.

“We actually didn't book accommodations until about two months out from leaving, and we were able to find rooms in a hostel that were honestly comparable to any hostel or traveler hostel that you can find in Europe,” Cattell said.

“I think I only ended up spending about $300 Canadian for four nights in Dublin.”
