Taylor Swift Is Reportedly Making More Than $13 Million A Night On Her Tour
Taylor Swift is bringing in ticket sales of more than $13 million a night on the road, putting her on a trajectory to deliver the highest-grossing tour in music history.
Most of the money goes toward the cost of production, and that sum doesn’t include the additional millions of dollars in merchandise sales that the Eras tour is generating.
But it still makes Swift, 33, the top-grossing artist in the world and marks the biggest tour of her career.

Swift is on pace to gross more than $1 billion, a threshold no artist has ever hit. Through 22 dates, the tour has grossed $300 million, according to Pollstar, an industry publication.
She was scheduled to perform more than 50 dates in the US in all and then go abroad. Pollstar estimates Eras could top $1.3 billion.
Swift is also setting a high-water mark for prices — in a year marked by concert inflation. The average ticket to a Swift show costs $254. Seven of the 25 best-selling acts of the first half of the year are also charging more than $200 a night.
The list includes Bruce Springsteen, at $224, Phish at $206, and George Strait at $282.
