CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline reports:

According to an end-of-the-year accounting by live tour publication Pollstar, Taylor Swift’s tour has now grossed more than any tour by any other artist ever: $1,039,263,762. And Swift set the record in only eight months.

In eight months, the superstar played 60 shows in 24 cities. The tour’s kickoff was on March 17, its conclusion on Nov. 11. During that time, Swift sold 4.3 million tickets with average ticket price of about $240. Her average per-show gross was $17,321,063.

The Eras Tour smashes the previous record, held by Elton John for his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. Sir Elton’s five-year goodbye took in a massive $939 million haul. But it took him 328 shows, as opposed to Swift’s 60.
