Taylor Swift surprises Eras Tour crew with jaw-dropping bonus
Taylor Swift reveals her post Eras Tour show rituals
Taylor Swift distributed a total of $197 million in bonuses to her Eras Tour team following the conclusion of the record-breaking global tour in December 2024.
The bonuses were given to a wide array of staff, including production crew, assistants, carpenters, dancers and band members.
Swift's new documentary series, The End of an Era, showcases her personally presenting these bonuses and handwritten notes to emotional team members.
She stated her intention to establish a precedent where road crew bonuses increase proportionally with the tour's gross earnings.
This act of generosity follows an earlier distribution of over $55 million to her team after the North American leg in August, which included $100,000 for each truck driver.
