Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” is well on its way to becoming the highest-grossing tour in history, with the singer herself estimated to walk away with at least a half a billion dollars. According to TMZ, Swift is sharing in the wealth by gifting members of the tour’s crew bonuses totaling $100,000 each.
Prior to her shows in Santa Clara last weekend, Swift reportedly handed out six-figure bonuses to the 50 or so truckers who have hauled her stage across the country over the last several months.
Swift also gave bonuses to her band members, dancers, lighting and sound technicians, caterers, and others, TMZ reports. Update: In total, Swift reportedly handed out more than $55 million in bonuses.
The first leg of “The Eras Tour” concludes following a six-night run at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium that begins on Thursday. Afterward, she’ll embark on a lengthy international run of shows. Tickets...

Taylor Swift fans have gained a reputation for being a force of nature, but this past weekend, they really outdid themselves. On July 22nd and 23rd, Swifties packed into Seattle’s Lumen Field for two sold-out nights of Swift’s ongoing “Eras Tour” (grab tickets here) and according to seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach, their hooting and hollering caused seismic activity equivalent to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
Caplan-Auerbach, a geology professor at Western Washington University, collected about 10 hours of data over the course of the two nights, revealing that the seismic activity in the area was nearly identical for each show. She shared her findings with CNN, where you can see a visual representation of the data.
Surprisingly, this kind of event actually isn’t that rare. Last year, a Garth Brooks concert at Louisiana State University caused a minor earthquake when he performed the school’s unofficial anthem, “Callin’ Baton Rouge.” Similarly,...

Another week, another record-breaking feat for Taylor Swift: she now holds the record for most No. 1 albums by a female artist.
Swift’s latest re-recording, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), debuts this week at No. 1 after moving 716,000 units. It marks the 12th No. 1 album of her career, surpassing the total by previous record holder Barbra Streisand. As of now, Swift is behind only The Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (14) for most No. 1 albums in history.
This week, Swift also becomes the first woman in history to have four albums in the top 10 at the same time. Along with Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Midnights sits at No. 5, Lover at No. 7, and folklore at No. 10.
After playing a pair of shows in Denver this weekend, Swift will next bring “The Eras Tour” to Seattle. She’ll then visit Santa Clara and Los Angeles before kicking off the international portion of the tour.
