Additionally, the “Eras” tour became the first-ever music tour to earn more than $1 billion.

As of right now, Pollstar reports that the tour, which started in March 2023 and will end in December 2024 after 151 gigs across the globe, has made $1.04 billion (£840 million) in revenue.

The profits, which came in at $939 million (£749 million) over 328 gigs, exceeded the five-year farewell tour of British superstar Elton John, which concluded earlier this year.

According to Obasanjo News24, Taylor Swift became the first musician to become a billionaire from music earnings, setting a new Guinness World Record in the process.
