About the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift is an American singer-songwriter who writes personal songs and often reinvents her sound. She built the Eras Tour as a tribute to her whole catalog. Each show ran about 3.5 hours with roughly 40 songs, grouped into 10 sections, one for each album. The tour played 51 stadiums and sold more than 10 million tickets, the most ever by a solo artist. It was the first tour to pass $1 billion in gross.

How it compares

Coldplay's Music of the Spheres Tour ranks second, with just over $1.1 billion in sales according to Consequence. The Eras Tour's gross is roughly double that figure. Its average attendance of 67,487 is the highest in the Pollstar era, ahead of U2's 360 Tour, which averaged 66,090 per show.
