Key Statistics:

• Total Revenue: $2,077,618,725
• Total Attendance: 10,168,008 people
• Average Ticket Price: $204 (industry average: $131)
• Duration: 21 months
• Number of Shows: 149
• Sellout Rate: 100%

For comparison, Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour, which previously held the record with $1 billion in ticket sales over 156 dates, achieved only half of Swift's total. These figures exclude merchandise sales, which generated additional revenue through early stadium booth openings.

The tour's success has elevated Swift to unprecedented cultural prominence, with The New York Times comparing her impact to The Beatles in the 1960s and Michael Jackson in the 1980s. Swift herself acknowledged the tour's demands, telling Time magazine it required more physical preparation than any previous endeavor.

The conclusion of the Eras Tour coincides with continued success for Swift, as her album "The Tortured Poets Department" maintains its #1 position on the Billboard 200 for a 16th week. She heads into the upcoming Grammy Awards with six nominations, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.
