In addition to their salaries, Taylor Swift gave the crew and performers on the Eras Tour an incredible $197 million in bonuses (exclusive)

Over the past two years, Swift gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her Eras Tour, including truck drivers, caterers, dancers and musicians. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour team put in the work — and she rewarded them generously.

Over the past two years, Swift gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her tour — including 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 — PEOPLE confirms.

In August 2023, as Swift wrapped the first North American leg of the tour, PEOPLE confirmed she’d given out more than $55 million in bonuses.

On Sunday, Dec. 8, Swift, 34, took the stage at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver for her final show of the Eras Tour, which kicked off in Glendale, Ariz., in March 2023.

During her opening Lover set, Swift shared her appreciation for fans and concertgoers.

“We have toured the entire world,” she said. “We have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.”

Then later, before performing “Karma” (the last track of her setlist) and taking her final bow, Swift told the crowd: “I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date — my beloved Eras Tour.”

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.”

Swift is ending 2024 on an unprecedented high note. In addition to her record-shattering tour, she scored big with its accompanying Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book, which sold a reported 814,000 copies in its first two days, making it the most successful publishing launch of the year. Additionally, Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music each announced that Swift was the top-streamed artist of 2024, and her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, was the top-streamed album of the year.

While she’s reached the end of her Eras Tour era, Swift has plenty to look forward to in 2025. The 14-time Grammy winner is up for six more golden gramophones at the award show, including album of the year for TTPD.
