Taylor Swift sold more than $3.5 billion worth of tickets for her Eras Tour.

Swift has been on the road for the past 21 months and following her 149th and final show in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8, it has been revealed the US$2,077,618,725 ($3,550,240,902) ticket revenue is double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.

According to figures confirmed by Taylor Swift Touring to the New York Times, a total of 10,168,008 people attended the shows, meaning tickets sold for an average of around US$204 ($349) each. The figures exclude resale prices.

The biggest single audience Swift performed for was on February 16, 2024, when 96,006 people attended her gig in Melbourne, Australia.

And across Swift’s eight gigs at London’s Wembley Stadium, 753,112 people got to see her in action – a figure that equates to roughly the population of Seattle in the US northwest.

During the final show at the weekend, Swift thanked her fans for making the Eras Tour “the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging” experience of her life.

Introducing the song All Too Well, the 34-year-old singer said: “The tour has been different from any tour I’ve ever done before in so many ways I can’t count, but I’d like to tell you a few. I’ve been touring since I was 15 years old and basically what I would do in the beginning … I would make an album, and then I would go on tour and the tour would be named after that album.

”And then I ended up putting out so much music so quickly that basically I had to think of a new way to do it, and I really hoped it was something that you would like, and I came with this idea of the Eras Tour.

“And then the craziest thing about this has been — and the reason this has been the longest tour — is because you guys have made this into something completely unrecognisable from anything I’ve ever done in my life with your traditions, your passion ...

“I never thought that writing one line about friendship bracelets would have you guys all making friendship bracelets, making friends and bringing joy to each other. That is the lasting legacy of this tour, that you have created such a space of joy and togetherness and love, and I couldn’t be more proud of you, honestly. That is all you.“

Later in the set, Swift hailed the tour the “adventure of a lifetime” as she praised her band and crew.

She said: “This tour has been the adventure of a lifetime, and I speak on behalf of my band, my crew, who all left their families and spent time away from everything they know and love and performed when they were sick, when anything was going on in their lives, they made sure this show happened for you. We will never forget you giving us that moment.”

At the end of her final song, Karma – which included a lyric change in tribute to boyfriend Travis Kelce, “the guy on the Chiefs” – Swift hugged her dancers and backing singers and instead of exiting by being lowered beneath the stage as in previous shows, the star opted to walk out with her team.
