Not an anti-hero!
Taylor Swift did it with a broken heart, racking in more than $2 billion in ticket sales during her Eras Tour — and she gave a ton of it away to those who helped her make it the highest-grossing tour of all-time.
The Grammy winner, who will turn 35 on Friday, gave a whopping $197 million in bonuses to her tour performers and crew, including truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, make-up, wardrobe, physical therapists and video team, according to People.
In Aug. 2023, the outlet reported that Swift gave out over $55 million in bonuses after wrapping her first North American leg of the Eras Tour.
On Sunday, Dec. 8, “The Tortured Poets Department” singer took her last bow of 2024 with a final show at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver and showed her gratitude to fans during her opening “Lover” set.
“We have toured the entire world,” Swift told concertgoers. “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.”
