The tour has created a flurry of hype around it, with fans shelling out cash not only for concert tickets but for unique outfits and friendship bracelets as well, making Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour an experience that transcends a typical concert. With the recent release of the Eras Tour concert movie, Swift’s Eras Tour will become even more successful.
Between the Eras Tour and the accompanying concert movie, it goes without saying that 2023 has been a huge financial success for Taylor Swift. The concert tour itself is already poised to break economic records, cementing Taylor Swift and the Eras Tour in history as one of the biggest concert tours of all time. However, while it’s clear that the Eras Tour has certainly been lucrative, it’s unknown exactly how much of its massive profits will go to Taylor Swift herself.
Taylor Swift's Estimated Earnings For The Eras Tour Is Over $4 Billion
Given what a massive pop culture moment Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has been, it’s no secret that the tour will be incredibly lucrative for the pop star. Not only will the Eras Tour set personal records for Taylor Swift, but its revenue also stands to set records for concert history. According to the Washington Post, the Eras Tour is set to become the most lucrative concert run in American history. By its end, it is estimated that the Eras Tour could make an estimated $5.7 billion, creating a massive boost to the entertainment industry and the economy at large, both of which had been hurting after the COVID-19 pandemic.
How Much Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour Has Made At The Box Office (& How Much It Cost)
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour could be a record-breaking box office hit. Here is how much it is expected to earn and how much it cost to make.
Not only is the Eras Tour estimated to rake in a huge revenue by its conclusion, but so is Taylor Swift herself. Based on estimations from Peter Cohan of Babson College, Taylor Swift could take home as much as $4.1 billion from the Eras Tour, based on the average ticket price of $456 and the assumption that she takes the traditional 85% artist’s share from the tour. Assuming these estimates of Swift’s Eras Tour revenue are correct, her earnings would be the most from a single tour for any musical act to date, making the Eras Tour an even more impressive feat.
The Eras Tour Movie Will Make Even More Money For Taylor Swift
Considering the anticipation to watch the Eras Tour, the accompanying Eras Tour movie will likely be just as lucrative as the physical concert tour has been. The Eras Tour movie has a unique deal that byes traditional studios and distributors, meaning that the concert movie will be a bigger blockbuster than it was already poised to be. Although it’s unclear what portion of the movie’s revenue will go directly to Taylor Swift, she does stand to make a good profit without having to contend with middlemen. With the combined profits of both the Eras Tour and its movie, 2023 is shaping up to be a “gold rush” for Taylor Swift.
