Taylor Swift doesn’t discriminate. And so when the pop superstar decided to give bonuses to those who worked on her Eras Tour, she spent more than $55 million to ensure everyone received a bonus. Dancers, caterers, and truckers all came in for a share of her gifts.

Taylor Swift Gives Fabulous Bonuses!

Like Oprah Winfrey giving out cars to every member of the audience, Taylor Swift gave bonuses to every member of her Eras Tour.

And that meant a fantastic summer for the workers. Taylor spent more than $55 million to ensure that everyone who worked on her huge show got a bonus, reported People.

As a result, the list of Swift’s employees getting bonuses included everyone from her dancers to riggers, sound technicians and catering. And just prior to her concert stop in Santa Clara, the 33-year-old songstress gave the truckers on her tour $100,000 each. The bonuses come after the Grammy-winning singer began her tour in March in Glendale, Arizona.

And as Taylor thrills her fans with her set list of 44 songs that span her career, celebrities have joined her followers in attending her concert. For instance, Miles Teller, Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, Gigi Hadid, and Paul Rudd all couldn’t resist the lure of listening to Swift’s popular performance. Meanwhile, the singer has worked hard to prep for her six sold-out shows at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium. 

The merch line for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour outside of SoFi Stadium is reportedly three hours long, over a day before she is set to take the stage.

Taylor Swift Reveals World Tour Plans

But Swift won’t limit herself to the United States. And earlier in the summer, the singer revealed her plans for her fans overseas.

Taylor hopes to travel around the world in 2024. And the singer shared her goal of performing in Asia, Europe, and Australia.

And when Taylor also unveiled her first international plan for shows in Latin America, she promised that she would offer many more performance dates in the future.

But Swift manages to keep each concert fresh. For instance, at her Kansas City tour stop, Taylor brought Joey King, Presley Cash and Taylor Lautner onstage. 

And Swift shared her new music video for the vault track “I Can See You.” Because Joey, Presley, and Lautner helped the singer bring back her third studio album through the music video, she wanted to honor them. Presley and King appeared in Swift’s 2011 “Mean” music video. And the singer and Lautner (inspiration for “Back to December”) dated for a short time. 

“I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now),” Swift shared on Instagram after the release. “And the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall,” added the singer.
