Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour ends by shattering own record, grossing an estimated $2.2B, Pollstar says

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has officially made history, becoming the highest-grossing tour of all time for a second consecutive year.

According to Pollstar, the tour brought in a staggering $2.2 billion during its 21-month run, which spanned 149 shows across five continents and drew over 10 million fans.

A Groundbreaking Achievement

The final show in Vancouver, Canada, capped off what has been hailed as a cultural phenomenon. Last year, Swift’s tour became the first ever to surpass $1 billion in gross earnings. This year, that record was not only broken but nearly doubled, with an estimated $1.04 billion earned in North America alone. Globally, the tour’s financial success reached new heights.

“We are witnessing history in the making,” said Andy Gensler, editor-in-chief of Pollstar & VenuesNow. “What Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour accomplished in 21 months across five continents is extraordinary and unprecedented. The $2.2 billion estimated gross is the highest of all time and nearly doubles the second-biggest tour.”

Coldplay Holds Second Place

The second-highest-grossing tour is Coldplay’s ongoing Music of the Spheres tour, which has earned approximately $1.14 billion since its launch in March 2022. With more dates scheduled into 2025, Coldplay has sold over 10.3 million tickets, just edging out Swift’s 10 million, making her the highest-selling solo artist in ticket sales.

Behind the Numbers

Pollstar’s data, based on box office reports, venue capacity, and historical sales, highlights Swift’s unmatched popularity as a solo performer. Detailed insights will be available in Pollstar’s upcoming year-end special issue.

As Swift continues to redefine the music industry with groundbreaking tours and a loyal fan base, the Eras Tour will be remembered as a milestone for live entertainment, solidifying her place as one of the most influential artists of all time.
