Taylor Swift breaks Elton John’s record for highest-grossing music tour

Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ tour has set a new record for the highest-grossing music tour in history.

On Tuesday, Guinness World Records confirmed the new record on their website.

The ‘Eras’ tour was also the first to earn more than $1 billion in revenue.

According to Pollstar, the tour, which began in March 2023 and is scheduled to end in December 2024 after a total of 151 gigs globally, has made $1.04 billion (£840 million) to date.

The earnings surpassed Elton John’s five-year farewell tour, which concluded earlier this year, taking in $939 million (£749 million) across 328 gigs.

Kanyidaily recalls that Taylor Swift recently set a new Guinness World Record as the first musician to become a billionaire solely on music earnings.
