Taylor Swift praised after her gift to Eras Tour team is revealed

The singer's tour came to its conclusion earlier this week after 21 months on the road

After what feels like a trillion years, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has finally come to an end.

And to mark the sad occasion, the chart-topping musician is said to have offered up a staggering parting gift to her colossal team to show her appreciation for all their heart work.

Let's just say, I'll be handing in my back-up dancer application form the next time she announces a tour...

Swift has been trotting the globe for just shy of two tears, making the string of concerts one of the longest-reaching gig stints in history.

And as any Swiftie can attest, the 34-year-old ceaselessly pulled out all the stops to ensure all attendees had their time of their life, with surprise guest performers, pyrotechnics and sell-out dance numbers - amongst the countless special additions to the itinerary.

As we say, however, the musician now plans to take some much needed time off, with her performance at Vancouver's BC Place Stadium marking her last one, having kicked off in Glendale, Arizona, in March 2023.

She told attendees at the final soiree: "We have toured the entire world. We have had so many adventures.

"It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I've ever done in my entire life."

And before exiting the stage for the final time, she told the crowds: "I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date — my beloved Eras Tour.”

It isn't just Swift in need of a break now, however - something she's said to be very well aware of - it's also her team.

She hired thousands of staff members in the hope that more hands on deck would help the worldwide tour run more smoothly - including drivers, hospitality representatives, music technicians, sound and lighting bosses, production assistants, carpenters, back-up dancers, riggers, a hair and make-up team, stylists, physical therapists and an entire video team.

Apparently, unlike many other A-list superstars, the hard work of her team hasn't gone unnoticed by the singer.

And according to People Magazine, Swift has forked out a staggering £197 million in bonuses to those who helped make her tour as special as it was.

In all fairness, this is nothing compared to the $2,077,618,72 that she raked in in total ticket sales, being that an astonishing total of 10,168,008 people across the globe attended one of her shows.

This sealed the Eras Tour's position as the best-selling show of all time.

The news comes just weeks after the 'Anti-Hero' hitmaker's generosity first hit headlines, when she offered up over $55 million to staff who assisted in the US leg of her tour, which wrapped up in August last year.

And word of Swift's generosity is spreading, with many heaping praise onto the singer for what she's been able to give back to her team.

"She's a Queen - Always generous to her staff!" one fan gushed on X this week after her latest gift hit headlines.

"Success isn’t just about fame; it’s about uplifting those who make it possible. Taylor gets it," another went on.

A third added: "Queen! Badass leader! Thats how you get people to love you!"
