What to remember
Taylor Swift's Eras Tour grossed $2,077,618,725, a record set in 2024. In 2025 dollars, the gross comes to $2,132,275,503.
In 1989 the record stood at $135,000,000, with Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour. The Rolling Stones then held it with the Voodoo Lounge Tour in 1995, and again with A Bigger Bang Tour in 2007, before Ed Sheeran's ÷ Tour reached $776,200,000 in 2019. The Eras Tour already held the record in 2023 with $1,039,263,762, before reaching its final total.
From the 1989 figure to the Eras Tour total, the ratio is 15.39. The context changed: in the 21st century, tour revenue soared as record sales collapsed and artists relied more and more on live shows for their income. The first tours to pass $100 million, by Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd, ran from 1987 until 1989, and Tina Turner became the first female act to do it with her Wildest Dreams Tour.
