Pop singer’s 149-date tour, which ended on Sunday in Vancouver, more than doubles the previous record for a completed tour
Taylor Swift’s Eras tour has been confirmed as the most commercially successful tour of all time, raking in more than twice as much revenue as the previous record-holder.
That eclipses the previous record for a completed tour, namely Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road which accrued $939m. Swift also managed to generate her astonishing revenue with considerably fewer shows: 149 to Elton John’s 330. Eras was a critical as well as commercial success, with no less than four five-star Guardian reviews as it made its way around the world. Swift performed songs from all of her albums in concerts of more than three and a half hours, and between legs of the tour, managed to also find time to write and record her new studio album The Tortured Poets Department, which became a feature of the later tour dates after its release in April.
