This Sunday, Taylor Swift gives the last concert of her “Eras tour” in Vancouver, Canada. An exceptional world tour, launched in March 2023. Here are three incredible figures to measure the full scale of the phenomenon.
More than $2 billion in ticket sales
Since its launch on March 17, 2023, Taylor Swift's “Eras Tour” has quite simply become the highest-grossing world tour of all time. According to the specialist magazine Pollstar, ticket sales are estimated at more than $2 billion.
No official figures have yet been communicated, but the star is doing better than Madonna or Elton John and the 939 million dollars recorded by his farewell tour after five years and 328 shows. In December 2023, the artist had already sold more than a billion dollars in tickets, becoming the first artist in history to achieve such a feat.
Nearly 150 concerts in less than two years
Taylor Swift gave no less than 149 concerts in one year and nine months as part of her “Eras Tour”. A tour including some fifty cities, in America, Asia and even the Old Continent.
Launched in Arizona in the United States, this 3h15 mega show passed through Europe last spring. Taylor Swift gave six concerts in France, four in Paris and two in Lyon, in front of more than 200,000 spectators.
Seismic activity of magnitude 2.3 recorded
Taylor Swift can count on her audience to vibrate in unison and even make the earth shake. During several “Eras tour” concerts, seismic activity was recorded near the rooms where the star was performing.
In July 2023, seismic activity equivalent to a magnitude of 2.3 was measured during two of his shows in Seattle. An episode which recurred several times, notably in Edinburgh, Scotland, last June. These seismic tremors were recorded within a radius of six kilometers.
