Taylor Swift is appreciative of her crew.

The superstar singer just wrapped up her Eras Tour and thanked her team with bonuses.

According to People, Taylor Swift gave out $197 million in bonuses to individuals working on the tour, including truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band members, security personnel, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hairstylists, make-up artists, wardrobe stylists, physical therapists, and members of her video team.

She previously gifted members of her crew bonuses totaling $100,000 each upon the completion of the first leg of “The Eras Tour” in August 2023.

After her 149th and final show, Swift’s production company, Taylor Swift Touring, confirmed to the New York Times that 10,168,008 people attended the Eras Tour — and that it sold $2,077,618,725 in total tickets, making it the bestselling tour of all time and “double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.”
