celeb news Guinness: Eras Tour breaks record as highest-grossing music tour ever

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is officially the highest-grossing music tour ever, becoming the first to surpass $1 billion dollars in revenue.

Quote

This breaks the record set by Elton John’s five-year farewell tour which ended earlier this year, bringing in $939 million (£749 million) over 328 shows. 

Some other broken records this year 

 

Quote

In June, she was awarded the record for the most simultaneous albums on the US Billboard 200 for a living artist, with 10 of her albums charting at the same time.

She then broke several more records in July: 

• Most US No.1 albums by a female artist – 12 
• Most US singles chart entries (female) – 212
• Most Top 10 debuts on the US Hot 100 (female) – 31
• Most simultaneous new entries on the Hot 100 (female) – 26
• Most cumulative weeks at No.1 on US albums charts (solo female) – 63

And in August, she made history with the most monthly listeners on Spotify (female), becoming the first female artist to amass 100 million.

The year of Taylor Swift 

[Chartman]

So good and only from 60 dates. Pretty sure the remaining 91 dates have a revenue of at least $960 Million, so next year she will have the first $2 billion tour in the GWR book.

[Steve Johnson]

Biggest Tour ever by THE Biggest artist ever 

Haters can keep fuming 

 

[Feanor]

We love GWR for giving Pollstar's numbers even more legitimacy (after every major publication had also already reported the $1B number).

 

First tour ever to gross $1B and 4M ticket sales is crazy...

[Sailor Moon]

and it's not even close to be done yet 

[WildHeart]

[Dear Reader]

Person of The Year 

[Cruel Summer]

So this kind of confirms people will be running with the $1.04 billion Pollstar figure and withholding the box scores is kinda pointless 

 

Anyway, get that beer book title, queen! 

[RIKI232]

MOTHERRR

[Asscatchem]

imagine if she toured China. 4billion in the bag

[*.Digambar.*]

She's mothering everyone this year

[1989]

The numbers are going to be astronomical once the tour is finally finished. Biggest tour of all time. 

[BtDecember]

All these reputable publications saying that the Eras Tour grossed over $1 billion, yet for some reason OTH/ATRL thinks they are lying because they said so. Hmmm.

[Gui Blackout]

It's her world and we're just lucky to be in it

Australia, Asia, the biggest female tour in Europe of all time, and then another like 20 dates in North America. 

[Mr. Duff]

Yeah. For the entirety of next year. 

 

"An homage to her albums, the Eras Tour is her most expansive tour yet, with 151 shows across five continents. It is the highest-grossing tour of all time and the first tour to surpass $1 billion in revenue." 

 

All 151 dates sold out so far.

It’s interesting how ATRL will hold up sources as valid and then immediately consider them invalid whenever they report Taylor at #1.  
 

Just an observation. 

[Azulito]

Still no official numbers
