Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated “Eras Tour” is poised to break records by generating an astounding $1 billion in ticket sales, making it the most lucrative tour ever. The exact amount of earnings that Swift, the 33-year-old pop sensation behind hits like “Shake It Off,” will take home remains unknown. However, fans are willing to pay a premium, with some shelling out five-figure sums to attend the 106-stop tour and experience Swift’s 44-song setlist live.
According to data from Pollstar, the “Eras Tour” has already outperformed the 2023 tours of iconic artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Harry Styles, and Elton John, despite not yet embarking on its international dates. In addition to the original 52 dates across the United States, which conclude in August, Swift has recently added international stops, including shows in Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia. There is also the possibility of more dates being added in the future, according to The Wall Street Journal.
As of now, the “Eras Tour” has accumulated $300.8 million in gross revenue, with an average ticket price of $253. Each show sells nearly 54,000 tickets, and Swift has sold over 1 million tickets in total after just 22 stops. The final show of the tour is scheduled to take place in London on August 17, 2024. If the tour reaches the $1 billion milestone by then, it will surpass Elton John’s Farewell Yellowbrick Road tour, which currently holds the record for the highest-grossing tour with earnings of $887 million from 2018 to 2023.
Experts predict that Swift could even exceed the $1 billion mark during her six-show run in Singapore in March 2024. Furthermore, concert executives believe the “Eras Tour” could generate an additional $2 million or more through the sale of merchandise at each stop. Swift offers a range of products, including $75 hoodies, $55 long-sleeve shirts, and $45 T-shirts. Fans are estimated to spend around $50 to $75 on merchandise, taking into account those who do not make any purchases.
The success of Swift’s tour has sparked speculation among music executives and fans, especially since ticket sales launched in November. The frenzy for tickets led to inflated prices and technical issues, resulting in Ticketmaster canceling its general public ticket sale for the tour. As for nightly grosses, Swift is not reporting them to Billboard Boxscore, which is unusual in the industry. However, Billboard’s senior director of live music and touring, Dave Brooks, reassured fans that Swift plans to disclose those figures later.
With a net worth of $740 million, Swift sits as the second richest self-made woman in music, according to Forbes. The “Eras Tour” has undoubtedly set new standards for blockbuster tours, surpassing even the current tours of icons like Beyoncé and Madonna. Concert grosses per show are at all-time highs, according to Brooks. Swift’s financial success positions her at the 34th spot on the “America’s Richest Self-Made Women” list, alongside wealthy moguls like Oprah Winfrey and Diane Hendricks. As she continues her “Eras Tour,” her estimated net worth of $740 million can only increase.
