Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Shatters Records, Surpassing $1 Billion in Gross Revenue with Expectations of Another Billion by Tour’s Conclusion Next Year

Entertainment — 12/09/2023

As per Pollstar’s 2023 year-end charts, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is the first tour to surpass the $1 billion milestone.

According to a concert trade newspaper, Swift’s historic Eras Tour not only became the most successful tour in history, both globally and in North America, but it also made an incredible $1.04 billion (£831.6 million) in revenue from 4.35 million tickets sold over 60 tour dates.

Pollstar data is gathered from November 17, 2022 to November 15, 2023, and is derived from box office reports, venue capacity estimations, previous Pollstar venue ticket sales data, and other undefined research.

The publication’s representatives would not immediately clarify if they named Swift as the first to surpass the $1 billion mark by adjusting historical tour numbers to account for 2023 inflation.

Her tour began in Arizona in March.

Additionally, according to Pollstar, Swift’s merchandise sales raked in almost $200 million (£159.8 million).

Not only was Swift’s landmark Eras Tour the number one tour both worldwide and in North America, but she also brought in a whopping $1.04 billion (£831.6 million) with 4.35 million tickets sold across 60 tour dates, the concert trade publication found

Additionally, it has been reported that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, her successful film adaptation of the tour, has brought in about $250 million (£199 million) in sales.

As a result, it holds the record for highest grossing concert movie ever.

Pollstar projects that Swift will have a significant 2024 as well.

According to the magazine, the Eras Tour is expected to hit $1 billion (£799 million) inside the eligible window once more.

Accordingly, Swift’s revenue during the course of the tour is probably going to exceed $2 billion (£1.5 billion).

Swift’s tour was the most popular worldwide. Beyoncé came in second, followed by Morgan Wallen, Ed Sheeran, Pink, The Weeknd, and Drake. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band came in third, Coldplay came in fourth, and Harry Styles came in fifth.

According to their estimates, Pollstar predicts a big 2024 for Swift as well. The magazine projects the Eras Tour will once again reach $1 billion (£799 million) within their eligibility window. That means Swift is likely to bring in more than $2 billion (£1.5 billion) over the span of the tour

Beyond Swift, 2023 was a historic year for concert ticket sales: globally, the top 100 tours of the year brought in $9.17 billion (£7.31 billion) as opposed to $6.28 billion (£5.06 billion) in 2022, a 46% increase from the previous year.

Swift received the Person of the Year award from Time Magazine earlier this week.

She was voted artist of the year by Apple Music this month, while Spotify announced that she was the most streamed artist worldwide for 2023, surpassing Bad Bunny’s three-year record with over 26.1 billion plays since January 1.
