Taylor Swift recently wrapped up her highly successful Eras Tour in the United States and generously rewarded her crew members for their hard work. According to multiple reports, she handed out massive bonuses to dancers, riggers, sound technicians, caterers, and other production staff. Notably, the truck drivers each received an impressive $100,000 "end of the tour" bonus, totaling $5 million for the department alone.
However, that was just a fraction of the overall bonuses she distributed, as People reported she spent over $55 million in total to give her crew a well-deserved payday bump. The news of these bonuses came just before the final U.S. leg of the Eras Tour at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., where all six shows at the 70,240-seat arena were sold out. Throughout the entire tour, which started in March, she generated an estimated $300 million in gross revenue.
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour showcased songs from all 10 eras of her career, and the pop star also released a re-recorded version of her 2010 album Speak Now during the tour. Notably, the tour saw many celebrity guests both in the audience and on stage, with Taylor Swift even reuniting with her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner during one of the shows.
