The tour’s economic influence extended beyond music, affecting hotel bookings, retail sales, and even boosting the resale market for tickets.
“She’s a powerhouse, business-wise,” Armen Shaomian said.
“Taylor Swift wasn’t just performing; she was rewriting the playbook, leaving a trail of glitter, economic stimuli and friendship bracelets wherever she went,” a StubHub report noted.
“The merchandising aspect of the tour was so important because it allowed fans to bring home some of that experience since it’s all about the memories,” Shaomian said.
“Fans were lining up hours before the arena even opened because the merchandise was set up in a different area and they wanted first dibs on buying.”
“Even if only a quarter of those people bought something, that’s easily at least a million dollars a night,” he said.
“It took less than 24 hours for the Taylor Swift The Eras Tour concert film to shatter AMC’s US record for the highest ticket-sales revenue during a single day in AMC’s 103-year history,” AMC stated.
“It feels like the breakthrough moment of my career, happening at 33,” Swift said.
“And for the first time in my life, I was mentally tough enough to take what comes with that.”
Swift’s ability to understand and cater to her fans’ desires was a key factor in her success, culminating in her being named CNN’s businessperson of the year.
