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

[Khal]

But Billboard didn't report it, so is it official though? /s

[Comedor]

This is the like the longest tour ever. I just learned she hasn’t even toured Europe yet? Didn’t this tour start like a long time ago? And she has another 90+ dates in 2024?

 

What kinda Rihanna label contract is that?

It's only been 60 dates so far. Nothing out of the regular. 151 dates is pretty normal for any artists other than our lazy Pop Girls, tbh. She made 1 billion from 60 dates. Imagine her earnings for the rest of the 91 dates, damn..

Nah. Ed, Harry, Abel, Coldplay, Elton all have longer tour than this. 

[dussel_06]

She’s not even halfway. We think this year is already her peak. It seems next year will be bigger. 
 

The rest of Eras tour. 2 re-recordings or another album (? ) A short film or a full length feature (?) And imagine if she dominates the grammys? And get announced as the Superbowl Performer of 2025.

 

Next year will be crazy. Another POTY. She always gets high awards in multiples.

Well I hope she refreshes the set list a bit to keep the show exciting for her and the crew.

Has it been confirmed by ChartMasters ? I was told GWR isn’t a reliable source

The previous record holder, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour by Elton John, had 330 dates between 2018 and 2023

Still no official numbers  

Some fanbases shouldn't show up when talking numbers

[Lille]

Officially the Biggest Tour of All Time!

 

And she's only 4/10's of the way through, no one is ever going to catch her.

Well, we can say that this thread is Taylored for you. This is GWR taking info from other industry sources, you know like Pollstar, specialised in touring and entertainment, so we weren't really waiting for the beer company to validate the numbers. Also, chartmasters doesn't do touring numbers but be sure they also know this is legit.

[Oktober Knight]

We saw this coming. Congrats Taylor 

[flashfox]

It's insane how she grossed $1 billion on 60 dates How expensive were the tickets?

[UnusualBoy]

What an amazing year she had!!

Who said GWR is not reliable? Nobody ever questioned GWR's data accuracy.

And yes it ain't yet

 

These numbers are from Pollstars a leading and most reliable touring compilation company

They were pretty much on par with what other music legends charge like Bruce Springsteen.  Tickets were not as expensive as Drake or Beyonce in NA.  She just did a lot of stadium shows and the configuration of her stage allows for like 10k more tickets per concert.

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. 

Lmao girl I am not invalidating Guinness at all. But I remember quite a few swifties doing so when they declared Madonna was still the best selling female singer of all time

I don’t know what comments are referring to but It’s a bit weird how insecure Madonna fans have been these days.  I wonder what could be prompting that.

I didn’t realise She still had 91 dates left, jesus

? 
 

Contract’s got nothing to do with. It’s her motivation to set the all time unreachable record.
 

after all, When the eras tour finishes in 2024 it will have outgrossed any artists, acts or bands’ entire touring totals combined, while doing half the shows of the #1 tour right now.
