Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Becomes First to Gross $2 Billion After Wrapping Up in Vancouver │ Exclaim!
[ad_1]
Almost exactly a year ago, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour became the first tour ever to gross more than $1 billion USD. The tour wrapped up yesterday (December 8) in Vancouver, and in the process it became the first tour to earn more than $2 billion.
The New York Times notes that the 149-show run earned $2,077,618,725 in ticket sales. The figures were confirmed by the production company Taylor Swift Touring — the first time Swift has officially confirmed the tour’s reported sales figures.
That means that Swift earned roughly $13,943,749.83 per show — so she almost certainly crossed the $2 billion mark during her nine Canadian shows that finished the tour.
The Eras Tour isn’t the only billion-grossing tour, since Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour also crossed the threshold this summer.
