NEW YORK — Taylor Swift’s Eras tour grossed $2.2 billion in nearly two years, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time for the second year in a row, Pollstar estimates based on data collected from 149 shows.
The new numbers were provided to The Associated Press on Monday, the morning after Swift finished the Eras tour with her final show in Vancouver, Canada. Last year, Swift’s historic tour became the first to cross the $1 billion mark.
In North America, Swift’s tour grossed approximately $1.04 billion during her tour. Globally, that figure jumps to around $2.2 billion.

“We are witnessing history in the making. What Taylor Swift and The Eras Tour have accomplished in 21 months on five continents in front of 10 million fans is extraordinary and unprecedented. The tour’s estimated gross of $2.2 billion is the highest ever and nearly double the second-largest tour,” Andy Gensler, editor-in-chief of Pollstar & VenuesNow, said in a press release. “It’s also an example of the boundaries this industry continues to push while bringing cutting-edge music, community and lifestyle experiences to legions across the world.”
The second largest tour is Coldplay’s ongoing “Music of the Spheres” tour, currently estimated to gross $1.14 billion since March 2022, with more dates to come in 2025.
According to Pollstar estimates, Coldplay has sold more than 10.3 million tickets; Swift’s tour sold just over 10 million copies, meaning she sold the most tickets of any solo artist.
Pollstar data is derived from box office reports, theater capacity estimates, historical Pollstar theater ticket sales data and other undefined research, collected from November 2022 to December 2024.
Additional data will be available in Pollstar’s special year-end issue and on Pollstar.com beginning Friday.
