Taylor Swift’s crew broke down in tears as they found out she was giving them a reported $197million in bonuses for their work on the Eras Tour.
The superstar, 36, made history after grossing a record $2billion in ticket sales for her career-spanning, 21-month Eras Tour – which consisted of 149 shows in 21 countries.
As a reward to her team, Taylor is said to have handed out more than $197million in bonuses to everyone working on the tour.
The Lover singer is notably a benevolent boss, and the moment she gives the mammoth bonuses to the performers and crew, complete with personal notes, is shown in her new Disney+ docuseries, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour/The End of an Era.
Those who received a bonus included truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, make-up, wardrobe, physical therapists and video team members.
In a scene from the docuseries, one crew member reads aloud a personal note from Taylor revealing the unknown individual bonus amount – which is bleeped out.
