Guinness World Records: Highest-grossing music tour

Taylor Swift’s (USA) The Eras Tour, the first billion-dollar music tour, grossed an estimated $1,039,263,762 (19,707,350,866.05 rands) from 60 shows played in the USA, Mexico and Argentina between 17 March and 12 November 2023, according to figures published by Pollstar. Remarkably, as of 11 December 2023, there were another 91 scheduled performances to come – the six concerts in Brazil on 17–26 November 2023 that just missed Pollstar’s tracking period and 85 shows between 7 February and 8 December 2024 – before the total overall gross of The Eras Tour – predicted to be in the region of $2.165 billion (£1.725 billion) – can be fully etched into live-music folklore.
