  • 137 - The powerful voices that shape us (nonagenarians, Queen, Taylor, and more!)
    Jan 8 2026

    Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour significantly boosted the U.S. economy, with estimates suggesting it generated roughly $5 billion in direct spending. Known as "Swiftonomics," the tour drove massive increases in hotel occupancy, restaurant revenue, and local employment in cities across the country. Fans, or "Swifties," spent an average of $1,300 each on tickets, accommodation, and food, with some estimates suggesting the total economic impact exceeded $10 billion.

    Key Economic Impacts:

    Massive Spending: The tour generated $5 billion in direct consumer spending in the U.S. alone.

    Hospitality & Tourism: Cities saw record-high hotel occupancy, with Philadelphia reporting its highest hotel revenue since the pandemic began, thanks to the tour.

    Job Creation: In Los Angeles, the six-night show added 3,300 jobs and $160 million in local earnings.

    Regional Economic Boost: The Denver shows added $140 million to Colorado's GDP. In Chicago, the concerts contributed to record-high hotel occupancy.

    "The Eras Tour" Movie: The concert film grossed $261 million.

    The tour’s economic impact was so significant that the Federal Reserve recognized it for boosting travel and tourism.
