Taylor Swift's Eras Tour' ends its record-breaking run..
AFTER GOING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND A half. Taylor Swift's behemoth "The Eras Tour" has come to an end-breaking 18 records during its run.
"The Eras Tour" was Swift's sixth concert tour and is named after the stages of her career, with each show spanning three-and-a-half hours.
Beginning in March 2023, the tour saw the pop superstar perform 149 shows across five continents.
At 34 years old, Swift was already the moststreamed artist on Spotify in 2023 and 2024. She holds the record for most "Album of the Year" Grammys. But her groundbreaking "Eras Tour" is a game-changer unto itself, as it has gone on to be the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.
Newsweek has compiled the records Swift broke with her worldwide tour, courtesy of Action Network, a sports media company. Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Swift for comment.
The singer-songwriter has smashed numerous impressive records, taking the top spot from a variety of other iconic performers. "The Eras Tour" broke the record of Elton John's "Farewell Yellow Brick Road," which brought in $939 million over five years and 328 shows. It became the highest-grossing concert tour by a solo artist, as well as the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.
The pop superstar also broke the record of Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet Tour," becoming the highest-grossing concert tour by a female artist. It was also the first tour to ever cross the $1 billion gross threshold.

MELISSA PETERMAN
FOR MELISSA PETERMAN, THE FIRST SEASON OF NBC'S HAPPY'S PLACE WAS A dream come true; getting a second season is an embarrassment of riches. “Getting a pilot is the lottery. Getting that pilot picked up is another gigantic win that is getting rarer and rarer.” Peterman plays Gabby, friend and co-worker of Bobbie, played by Reba McEntire, owner of the fictional tavern Happy’s Place. The sitcom reunites Peterman and McEntire, who first appeared together on Reba. “I think there is value in the second banana. There's value in the sidekick.” While fans see her as way more than just a sidekick, Peterman knows how rare it is to get a second chance with a hit sitcom. “It’s almost more precious because I know how rare it is to get a second chance with your best friend.” Busier than ever, Peterman also co-hosts Hallmark's Finding Mr. Christmas. “I would be really sad if I didn’t get to host a game show or go be with people. I genuinely like people.”
