Grammy award winner Taylor Swift is ending her blockbuster Eras tour with the spirit of Christmas gift-giving.

Over the past two years, Taylor has brought a rollercoaster ride of emotions and nostalgic feelings as she headlines her concerts in different parts of the country.

After taking her final bow last Sunday at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, the singer has collected a whopping amount of $2 billion since kicking off the tour in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023.

According to People Magazine, Taylor has handed out $197 million (roughly P11 billion) worth of bonuses to her Eras Tour crew, this includes 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.

The $197 million amount means that team member bonuses accounted for nearly 10 percent of the tour's total revenue.

The article also included that this is the second time that Taylor has handed out bonuses to her crew. After wrapping up the North American Tour last August 2023, the singer has given out more than $55 million in bonuses.

After her 149th and final show, Swift’s production company, Taylor Swift Touring, confirmed to the New York Times that 10,168,008 people attended the Eras Tour — and that it sold $2,077,618,725 in total tickets, making it the bestselling tour of all time and “double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.”
