  1. > Over the past two years, Swift gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her tour — including truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, make-up, wardrobe, physical therapists and video team — PEOPLE confirms.

  3. Not a fan of her music, but she seems to cares about the people that make it possible.👍🏻

  4. A 10% of the revenue in bonus is completely insane. There’s no ethical billionaires but for sure some are better than others

  5. Her entourage is a big reason why her concerts are so successful so it’s good that she’s rewarding them for all their hard work throughout her tour

  6. I wonder what the economic impact of her tour is. I have no doubt that it was responsible for millions in local cash influx.

  7. This being some artists actual tour gross is crazy. Like the biggest artist in the world are making that much total in tour while Taylor is giving it out in bonuses

  8. It’s because she cares about people!!! They gave up their time for her and did fabulous jobs! So like a good boss, she rewarded them!

  9. Even more impressive that gets little attention –

    All the money that Taylor donated to food banks in every single city she performed in.

  12. Very smart of Taylor to leak this. While it’s the right thing to do for a great touring crew, it’s also just great PR

  13. How many staff does she have? Or did she just mint a bunch of new millionaires?

  14. Just a reminder that beyonce gave her crew only 5k in bonuses and a signed poster

  17. At the same time the carbon footprint she left behind is a middle finger to the planet.
    And im seeing my paper straw getting soggy and paying 20 cents extra for anything that has plastic.

    Unbelievable how ignorant humans are. Agent smith is right, we’re a cancer to the planet.

  18. That’s 10% of tour gross revenue. That’s a crazy amount of money especially because it probably came out of her personal profits

  20. Not a swifty and I talk A LOT of shit but this is a baller move.

  21. Now if she could stop being the number 1 celebrity polluter by a significant margin…

  22. Damn, wonder how much bonus the person who “leaked” this quiet benevolence to the press made

  23. Was this the biggest musical tour of all time? Has to be, right? In terms of shows, attendees, profits

  24. If you resent all those that make great money then you must be a pretty unhappy person. Too bad.

  25. I’m a fan of her music and love to read these kind of stories
