As Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour wrapped up its final performance in Vancouver on Sunday night, the singer's generosity was revealed in a major way.
Swift, whose tour grossed over $2 billion, has reportedly shared $197 million of those earnings with her tour staff.
How Taylor Swift took care of her crew
This generous gesture comes on top of their regular salaries and includes nearly every member of the team, from truck drivers and caterers to dancers and pyrotechnics crews.
The reported bonus amount represents almost 10% of the total earnings from the tour, highlighting Swift's commitment to those who helped make the Eras Tour a monumental success.
In a statement shared with People, sources confirmed that everyone involved in the production was included in the bonus distribution.
"Taylor has always been on the right side of history and used her money for good," one fan wrote on social media, praising the singer's thoughtfulness.
Another added, "Her generosity is on another level!!"
Swift's commitment to her crew is nothing new.
Back in August 2023, the artist made headlines for giving out $55 million in bonuses after the first leg of the tour.
This latest gesture sets a new bar, reflecting the singer's strong bond with the team that helped her pull off the 149-date stadium trek.
The Eras Tour has been a historic success in many ways, not only for its record-breaking gross sales but also for the way Swift has redefined what it means to the people behind the scenes.
As the tour concludes, Swift's legacy as a charitable and thoughtful figure is only further solidified.
