In a stunning achievement, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has set a new milestone by grossing an estimated $2.2 billion, marking it as the highest-grossing tour of all time according to Pollstar’s latest report.
The Eras Tour, spanning nearly two years, concluded with a final performance in Vancouver, Canada. This tour alone has made history by becoming the first to surpass the billion-dollar threshold last year, and it continues to surpass expectations by maintaining its record-breaking status for the second consecutive year.
In North America alone, the tour generated approximately $1.04 billion. This impressive figure escalates globally to an estimated $2.2 billion, attributed to Swift’s performances in front of over 10 million fans across five continents, making this feat unprecedented in the live music industry.
Pollstar’s editor-in-chief, Andy Gensler, highlighted the extraordinary nature of this tour, emphasizing its historical significance in the realm of live performances. He remarked, ‘We are witnessing history in the making. What Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour accomplished in 21 months across five continents before 10 million fans is extraordinary and unprecedented.’
In comparison, Coldplay’s ongoing ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour, which commenced in March 2022, is the second highest-grossing tour currently at an estimated $1.14 billion, with further dates planned in 2025. Although Coldplay sold more than 10.3 million tickets, Swift’s ticket sales, totaling over 10 million, positioned her as the highest-selling solo performer during the same period.
The data from Pollstar draws on extensive box office reports, venue capacity estimates, and historical ticket sales from various venues across the duration of the tour, collected between November 2022 and December 2024. These figures underscore Swift’s massive influence and the tour’s monumental impact, both financially and culturally.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour’s extraordinary success showcases the powerful draw of live performances in today’s music landscape. As the tour wraps up, it leaves behind not just a record-setting gross but also a testament to the global community of fans it cultivated.
