Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has turned out to be the most fruitful tour in history. While it has boosted many countries’ economies, reports suggest she has been spending millions to make her tour enchantable. Yes, you read that right. Taylor Swift allegedly spent $4.3 million on The Eras Tour.
Surprisingly, she spent the amount only on hair, makeup, costume, styling, and the background band’s wages. Consultants revealed that this whopping amount serves as the foundation of the Eras Tour, where they are like an army dealing with all sorts of challenges. However, they aren’t afraid of them and love such challenges.
In addition to this, the consultants told The Sun that many challenges are associated with the tour’s location stop, such as temperature and humidity. So, they have to adapt to such challenges. While Taylor Swift’s stage work takes a lot of work, the consultant revealed that Swfit’s costumes for the Eras Tour were all designer-made.
Her three Roberto Cavalli costumes were valued at $255,000, her Versace costume at $50,000, and her Oscar de la Renta outfit at $140,000. According to the reports, Taylor Swift allocated a $1.2 million and $1.3 million budget for her jewelry and wardrobe only.
Her makeup artists cost $3000 per show, and the products cost around $153,000. Since Taylor mostly wore Louboutin shoes for her tour, they cost $195,000, and her styling cost around $3,000.
There’s no denying that Swift has great taste. But she values her teammates as well. Her backup band, mainly the backup vocalists per night, had ten different outfits costing $1,000 each; their styling and makeup cost around $60,000. So, it took her almost $750,000 to keep them throughout the trek.
This doesn’t end here. For her Europe leg tour, Taylor Swift hired ten makeup artists, who collectively earned about $65,000 for almost three months of work. As for her 15 backup dancers, they have their own budget fix. Since they wear ten different costumes per night, Taylor costs $1,500 for each costume, a total of $225,000.
No doubt, her fans come to see Taylor and her background dancers‘ outfits, so it becomes important for her to maintain her style. However, the consultant revealed that the team often faces glaring wardrobe problems since heavy dance moves are involved. So, behind-the-stage teams always remain on their toes to solve such issues.
That is why the budget is huge to pay tribute to Taylor Swift’s career so far. The source said it is an intense experience to let everyone experience the best in the world. There have been a lot of moving parts, so they have to make the coordination look perfect so that everyone can be happy and have the best experience of their concert.
