SHOCKING: Taylor Swift Gifts Her Eras Tour Staff Bonuses Worth $197 Million.

The 36-year-old megastar was reported by People to have generously given everyone involved in her record-breaking jaunt a share of $197 million to thank them for their part in making the 149 shows a success.
And, in an episode of her Disney+ docuseries The End of an Era, viewers saw the reactions to the bonuses.

While writing letters to her hard-working team, Taylor said: “Bonus day is so important, because setting a precedent with The Eras Tour is so important to me, because people who work on the road, if the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus.”

A clip of production assistant Max Holmes opening his letter and almost passing out when he saw home much he was gifted by Taylor was shown.

Overwhelmed, he reacted: “I’m gonna pass out.”

The Fate of Ophelia singer – who made more than $2 billion in revenue from the trek – gathered her entourage together and reduced them to tears with her generosity.

Dancer Kameron Saunders read out the letter she received from the singer: “Dearest Kam, we’ve travelled the world like we set out to do. We’ve dazzled the crowds, but we’ve missed family too. My full gratitude doesn’t come from a bank, but here’s [bleep] dollars just to say thanks. Love, Taylor.”

In 2023, Taylor gave out bonuses worth $55 million to her tour crew.

The singer/songwriter rewarded her hardworking tour crew, including dancers, riggers, sound technicians and catering staff, with cash bonuses, according to People.

Earlier in the year, TMZ reported that Taylor had gifted her tour truck drivers a $100,000 bonus each.

She handed out the six-figure bonuses to the truckers who carted her equipment all over the USA.

She was believed to have 50 truck drivers on the tour, meaning she shelled out $5 million in bonuses to them alone.
