Transcript
00:00 Taylor Swift's Eras Tour was making waves even before it kicked off, and now it's
00:09 on track to make history and break tour earning records by far.
00:19 The ticket demand was so crazy that it led to a senate hearing about Ticketmaster's
00:24 sales process, and resale tickets were going for insane prices.
00:29 Picture this, 4 hour lines for merch as well as massive crowds just hoping to catch a glimpse
00:36 of the show outside of stadiums.
00:45 It's been a mix of frustrating as well as incredible.
00:49 A lot of highs, a lot of lows, but mostly highs with Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
00:59 And get this, even though we're just in the first year of two years of this tour,
01:05 experts predict she'll join the ranks of Beyonce, Coldplay, Harry Styles and Elton
01:10 John on the top 10 highest grossing tours of all times list.
01:20 No official figures from Taylor's team have come out yet, but when this tour wraps up,
01:25 it's likely going to go down as the biggest tour ever.
01:29 The big question is, how much is it going to rake in, and what is Taylor Swift pulling
01:34 in each of her shows?
01:35 Let's dive into the details and look what experts are saying, along with some interesting
01:42 estimated figures.
01:44 These stats are pretty incredible.
01:48 According to Forbes, Taylor Swift is pulling in an average of about $13.6 million per show,
01:55 and on the tour, it's set to have 151 total shows.
02:00 But Taylor is not just pocketing all of the cash for herself.
02:03 A chunk of the profits is going straight to the hardworking crew that's making all of
02:08 the shows happen.
02:16 Taylor also dished out about $50 million in just bonuses alone to the crew.
02:22 And to truck drivers that are hauling her tour gear to different cities and stadiums,
02:28 they earned an extra $100,000 each.
02:31 And one thing to note is that it's not just the tour itself, but the tour movie is breaking
02:37 records.
02:38 Taylor Swift's Aeros Tour concert movie is crushing it at the global box office.
02:43 AMC Theatres, the ones putting out the tour movie, revealed that Taylor Swift's Aeros
02:50 Tour pulled in a whopping $250 million in worldwide ticket sales.
02:57 And that puts it in the top 20 films of 2023, and it's now officially the most successful
03:03 concert film of all time.
03:06 Taylor really came for the crown here.
03:08 So when you take a look at it, the stats came out by Thanksgiving weekend.
03:13 The Aeros Tour raked in $178.2 million in North America and $71.8 million overseas.
03:23 It was Taylor Swift and her crew that put up their own $50 million to make the Aeros
03:28 Tour film.
03:29 They did it all themselves, so they're seeing some massive profits.
03:33 It's been a game changer for cinema, especially with Hollywood studios experiencing a big
03:39 slowdown due to the strikes.
03:42 And you can see why Taylor Swift's staff and crew are making such huge bonuses, because
03:47 they're sharing in the profits.
03:49 And Taylor was pretty smart by the way.
03:51 She switched things up a little bit.
03:53 Instead of teaming up with a regular studio, she went all in with AMC.
03:57 So it was definitely a bold move that's been paying off big time.
04:01 And also, another thing to note is that they decided to give Aeros Tour another run in
04:06 theatres.
04:07 So it's being re-released, as well as being released digitally.
04:11 So brace yourself, because it's predicted to bring in millions of dollars more.
04:16 Yeah, Taylor's definitely got the Midas touch here.
04:19 And at the rate it's going, Aeros Tour might just be the first to hit the billion dollar
04:24 milestone in tour gross revenue.
04:27 So definitely shoutouts to Taylor.
04:29 She is just crushing it, guys.
04:32 Okay guys, that's all the scoop I have for you in this one.
04:35 Hopefully this gives you an idea of just how much money Taylor Swift is earning.
04:39 Not from her other revenue streams, by the way.
04:42 This is just from the Aeros Tour.
04:44 If you enjoyed this one, don't forget to leave a big thumbs up.
04:47 And until the next video, stay awesome, and I'll see you soon.
