Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has made history as the first tour to surpass $2 billion in ticket sales, generating a staggering $2,077,618,725 across its 149-date run.
The tour, which concluded recently, drew a total audience of 10,168,008, with an average ticket price of approximately $204.
Notably, Swift performed eight sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium, entertaining 753,112 fans. The highest single-night attendance occurred on 16 February 2024 in Melbourne, Australia, with 96,006 attendees.
The Eras Tour stands apart from other record-breaking tours, including Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour, which crossed the $1 billion mark after two and a half years, and Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, which earned $939 million over five years, including a pandemic hiatus.
Swift’s Eras Tour marked her return to live performances since the pandemic. Originally, the singer planned Lover Fest shows following the release of her Lover album in 2019.
However, these were eventually cancelled due to safety concerns. During the pandemic, Swift released two studio albums, Folklore and Evermore, with the former becoming the first album to sell a million copies in 2020.
Since then, Swift has continued to break records, releasing Midnights and The Tortured Poets Department, as well as re-recording her earlier albums.
The Eras Tour celebrated her extensive discography, spanning 11 albums, and has firmly cemented her legacy in music history.
