Make way — Elton John and Ed Sheeran — because the T-swizzle is coming for your crowns. According to the latest reports, Taylor Swift is well on her way to breaking the record of the highest-grossing tour in history.
The Eras Tour has turned into a phenomenon that breaks the barrier between music reach and fandoms. Based on a recent report, Swift is impacting the U.S. economy on a large scale, bringing more than $5 billion in revenue for local businesses in cities she visits on her Eras Tour. The tour itself is also poised to become the highest-grossing in history, bagging more than $1 billion – which is a milestone yet to be vanquished by any artist.
Now, with all of these projections running rampant on the internet, it’s safe to say the kingdom lights are shining just for Taylor and her music. And sure, we get how it is — “everybody loves pretty everybody loves cool” — but how much money is the Grammy-winning songwriter actually earning every night?
How much money is Taylor Swift earning from The Eras Tour?
Based on what Bloomberg estimates, Taylor is earning a whopping $13 million a night while touring across the United States. The first 22 nights alone have grossed $300 million, and there are almost 30 more to come.
Due to the overwhelming demand from Swifties around the country, Swift has also opted to add another 14 nights to the show. These — combined with the Eras Tour’s estimated international gross when Taylor goes abroad next year — might give it the momentum to crash past $1.3 billion, which will be a threshold many artists will have an almost impossible time challenging in the near future.
The average Eras Tour ticket costs $254 and many of them sell at even a higher price due to the insane amount of hype and demand surrounding the concert, but Taylor herself certainly makes all of this worth your while, performing more than 44 songs each night from all of her albums across the years.
Swifties jokingly refer to Taylor as “the music industry.” Now, with the Eras Tour turning into such a global sensation, we’re inclined to take them at their word.
