Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has proven to be an economic booster for many countries. Recently, the UK revealed that the pop star’s tour might help boost the British economy. Swift’s UK leg will start in June after her Paris leg wraps up. While the Gorgeous singer has been making waves with her dramatic outfits and changes in her touring, fans couldn’t wait for her UK tour.
According to the banking firm Barclays, the Bad Blood will start her tour on June 7 and perform three consecutive shows at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland. Taylor Swift will also perform in Wales, Scotland, and England this summer.
Not only this, but Swift will also perform at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium. There, she will perform almost eight shows. While Swifties are waiting for the Blank Space singer to touch England’s surface, Barclays revealed the profit stat her performance would bring.
According to reports, Swift’s tour tickets, travel, accommodation, and merchandise cost around $1,000 (approx. £848). So, British fans are expected to spend a huge amount to see the Grammy winner’s performance. While it may sound huge for a non-Swiftie, stats suggest that approximately 1.2 million fans could join the Eras Tour.
This might help the British economy a lot. Barclays’ chief behavioral scientist, Dr. Peter Brooks, said that Taylor Swift’s craze is just like Elivs and Beatlemania in the ’50s and ’60s. So, there’s no denying that support will arrive in mass to see Taylor Swift’s performance.
If everything goes as planned, then there’s no denying that Taylor Swift can help boost the British economy by $1.2 billion (around £997 million). Well, this won’t be new for Taylor Swift. That’s because her previous show in Australia has greatly boosted the country’s economy.
Swift’s Eras Tour in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, generated around $300 million. Meanwhile, her Eras Tour contributed $4.3 billion to the United States’ GDP. Since the singer will perform in the US at the end of her Eras Tour, we can expect that it will help boost the US GDP even more.
As for her European leg, Taylor Swift is currently performing in Paris and spending some quality time with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. While rumors surfaced that their relationship was on the verge of ending, Kelce and Swift have proved their love for each other time and time again.
