Swiftonomics: Economic impact of Taylor Swift’s ‘Era’s Tour’

This post was originally published on this site

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour may have started just a couple of months ago, but economists predict she’ll have the highest-grossing tour of all time.

Experts have crunched the numbers factoring in her 52-night, 20-city tour.

When all is said and done, Forbes reports the “Anti-Hero” singer could net anywhere between $500 million and $1.5 billion.

About two and a half million tickets were sold on the first day of pre-sale tickets alone, with at least some Swifties paying as much as $42,000 on the resale market.

When it comes to getting dressed for the concert, fans are paying big money for themed costumes made through Etsy, which is costing them around $200.

The hotel industry is also feeling the impacts of what’s being called “Swiftonomics.” Some superfans have reportedly spent $1,100 a night for a hotel stay.
