Nothin' Lasts Forever

AFTER GOING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND A half. Taylor Swift's behemoth "The Eras Tour" has come to an end-breaking 18 records during its run.

"The Eras Tour" was Swift's sixth concert tour and is named after the stages of her career, with each show spanning three-and-a-half hours.

Beginning in March 2023, the tour saw the pop superstar perform 149 shows across five continents.

At 34 years old, Swift was already the moststreamed artist on Spotify in 2023 and 2024. She holds the record for most "Album of the Year" Grammys. But her groundbreaking "Eras Tour" is a game-changer unto itself, as it has gone on to be the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.

Newsweek has compiled the records Swift broke with her worldwide tour, courtesy of Action Network, a sports media company. Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Swift for comment.

The singer-songwriter has smashed numerous impressive records, taking the top spot from a variety of other iconic performers. "The Eras Tour" broke the record of Elton John's "Farewell Yellow Brick Road," which brought in $939 million over five years and 328 shows. It became the highest-grossing concert tour by a solo artist, as well as the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.

The pop superstar also broke the record of Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet Tour," becoming the highest-grossing concert tour by a female artist. It was also the first tour to ever cross the $1 billion gross threshold.
