Calarugashawk Media.

2
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:11.359
Hey Swifties, Ali, here with our historic wrap up of

3
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.599
the Aras Tour, and wow, do we have some incredible

4
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.199
numbers to share. Taylor's production company has just confirmed the

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:22.800
final figures and they're absolutely staggering over two billion dollars

6
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.719
in ticket sales from more than ten point one million

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.039
fans across one hundred and forty nine shows. But before

8
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:31.559
we dive into all the details, let me share something

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.399
incredibly sweet. While Taylor was performing her final show in Vancouver,

10
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.079
Travis had her in his mind. Back in Kansas City,

11
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:41.960
Eagle eyed fans spotted the most adorable Christmas decorations in

12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.399
his arrowhead sweet matching Sanna and missus Clau's figures with

13
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.799
Travis and Taylor's faces, and Taylor gave him a special

14
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.039
shout out during her final performance of Karma, once again

15
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.520
changing the lyrics to Karma is the guy on the Chiefs.

16
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.240
Speaking of the final show, Taylor described the Airas tour

17
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.000
as the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to

18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.640
date and credited the fans for creating such a space

19
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.640
of joy and togetherness and love. She emphasized how special

20
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.079
it was that fans cared about every era of her

21
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.760
music making life, making these walks down memory lane possible

22
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.159
night after night. Now, let me share something that shows

23
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.359
exactly who Taylor Swift is as a person. She gave

24
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.680
out an astounding one hundred and ninety seven million in

25
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.959
bonuses to her tour crew.

26
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:28.120
We're talking everyone from truck.

27
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.599
Drivers to caterers, dancers, to security choreographers to physical therapists.

28
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.680
That's nearly ten percent of ticket sales going back to

29
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.680
the team that made this magic possible. The numbers from

30
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.400
this tour are absolutely mind blowing. One hundred and forty

31
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.840
nine shows across fifty one cities in twenty one countries.

32
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.280
Each show featured forty four to forty six songs and

33
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.480
ran for three hours and fifteen minutes.

34
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.200
Taylor performed her ten minute version of.

35
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.879
All Too Well for a total of approximately twenty five hours.

36
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.239
She wore over sixty outfits and more than two hundred

37
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.040
and fifty custom pairs of Christian luebuton shoes. Her biggest

38
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.000
crowd ever was ninety six thousand people at the Melbourne

39
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.000
Cricket Ground.

40
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.800
And speaking of numbers, let me share something.

41
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.280
That shows exactly who Taylor Swift is as a person.

42
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.479
She's given out an astounding one hundred and ninety seven

43
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.439
million dollars in bonuses.

44
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.240
To her tour crew throughout the tour's run.

45
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.439
This includes everyone from truck drivers to caterers, the merch team,

46
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:30.680
to production staff, carpenters to dancers, security to choreographers, hair

47
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.000
and makeup teams, to physical therapists, and so many more.

48
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.120
When you think about it, that's nearly ten percent of

49
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.000
all ticket sales going right back to the team that

50
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.319
made this magic possible. This wasn't a one time thing either,

51
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.240
Remember when she gave out fifty five million in bonuses

52
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:48.800
just after the first North American leg wrapped in August

53
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.439
twenty twenty three. While Taylor was giving her emotional final

54
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.879
performance in Vancouver last night, Travis was keeping her close

55
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.960
to his heart. Back in Kansas City. During the Chief's

56
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.280
game against the Chargers, which they won nineteen to seventeen,

57
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.319
fans spotted the sweetest Christmas decorations in his arrowhead, sweet

58
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.599
matching Sannah and missus Clau's figures with Travis and Taylor's faces,

59
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.400
and Taylor made sure to give him a special shout

60
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.479
out during her final show, once again changing the Karma

61
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.479
lyrics to Karma.

62
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.840
Is the guy on the Chiefs Looking ahead.

63
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.280
Sources tell Us Weekly that while Taylor's considering returning to

64
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.960
tour in twenty twenty six, she's not making anything official yet.

65
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.400
A lot of it hinges on what happens over the

66
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.960
next year with Travis. The insider noted she's told her

67
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.080
team to give her one year to see how things

68
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.120
go in her personal life. For now, she's earned some

69
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.719
well deserved rest, though, with six Grammy nominations coming up

70
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.919
in February and two more Taylor's versions still to come,

71
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.560
we know she won't be completely out of the spotlight

72
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:58.439
more in a moment. These milestones are even more meaningful

73
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.319
when you consider everything that happened during the tour's run.

74
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.560
Taylor released two Tailor's versions and TTPD became Spotify's most

75
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.039
streamed artist with twenty six point six billion streams in

76
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.319
twenty twenty four alone, and was named Times Person of

77
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.199
the Year. She navigated serious challenges too, from the canceled

78
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.480
Vienna shows due to security threats to postponing Brazil.

79
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:21.839
Dates due to extreme heat.

80
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.040
Through it all, she kept that connection with fans, driving

81
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:28.199
four hundred thousand people to register to vote, and creating

82
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.720
a concert film that grows two hundred and sixty one

83
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.399
point six million dollars globally. On the last night, she

84
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.079
made a touching change to the lyrics of surprise song

85
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.240
Long Live, switching from it was the end of a

86
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.199
decade to it was the end of an era. As

87
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.360
she told the Vancouver crowd, we have toured the entire

88
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:47.399
world with this tour.

89
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:49.680
We have had so many adventures.

90
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.439
It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most

91
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.959
challenging thing I've ever done in my entire life. She

92
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.199
emphasized how special it was to perform for over ten

93
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.399
million people, making sure to credit the fans for creating

94
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.720
such a space of joy and togetherness and love. The

95
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.560
economic impact has been revolutionary, what experts call swift anomics.

96
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.920
Cities worldwide saw massive boosts as fans traveled thousands of

97
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.600
miles for shows. Her merchandise alone brought in two hundred

98
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.639
million dollars in twenty twenty three, and the tour books

99
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.040
sold nearly a million copies in its first week. Beyond

100
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.480
the numbers, the tour created its own culture, from friendship

101
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.759
bracelet trading to precisely coordinated crowd chants looking ahead to

102
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:35.720
twenty twenty six.

103
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.839
While sources say Taylor would love to tour again.

104
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.480
She had such a great experience on Eras she really

105
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:45.639
wants to do it again, and Insider shared she's taking

106
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.600
time to focus on her personal life first. With six

107
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.519
Grammy nominations coming up on February second, and two more

108
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.160
Taylor's versions still to come, there's plenty to keep Swifties excited.

109
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.040
What makes these achievements even more remarkable is how Taylor

110
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.680
never lost sight of w one what matters, from personally

111
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.680
ensuring her crew was well compensated to making each show

112
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.759
special with those two nightly surprised songs. Even while breaking

113
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.160
attendance records worldwide from Pittsburgh to San Paulo, from Mexico

114
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.759
City to London's eight shows at Wembley Stadium, she kept

115
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.279
focusing on the human connections.

116
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.240
That made this tour magical.

117
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.399
This has been ali with Taylor Swift today still processing

118
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.879
the end of the most successful tour in history.

119
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.360
Remember Swifties.

120
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.120
While the Era's tour may be over, Taylor's already promised

121
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.120
us more errors to come, and with nearly two hundred

122
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.040
million dollars in crew bonuses, Christmas decorations in Arrowhead suites,

123
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.839
and change lyrics for that special guy on the chiefs.

124
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.680
It's clear that generosity and love are always in style.

125
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.920
Until next time, keep spreading that swifty love
