Taylor Swift’s Eras tour has become the first set of concerts to gross over a billion dollars — $1,039,263,762 to be exact.
Concert-tracking website Pollstar estimated the data based on box office reports and research into market ticket prices, record capacities at the stadium venues and other tour numbers.
Swift not only broke Elton John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” gross record, but she also set the money mark in a shorter amount of time — eight months, during which she played 60 shows starting March 17 with the tour’s debut in Glendale, Arizona, and ending on Nov. 11 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Elton John’s farewell tour hauled in $939 million after 328 (more than five times the amount Swift played) shows in five years.
