Taylor Swift‘s “The Eras Tour” has made history by becoming the highest grosser ever and the first to break the $1 billion mark, according to Pollstar data.

“The Eras Tour” has dethroned Elton John‘s years-long “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour for the top spot.

Swift’s landmark “Eras Tour” was the No. 1 trek both worldwide and in North America. She brought in a whopping $1.04 billion with 4.35 million tickets sold across 60 tour dates, the concert trade publication found.

Swift sold about $200 million in merch, not including the reported $250 million from the record-breaking Eras Tour concert film, as per Pollstar. The data is for the period between November 17, 2022 and November 15, 2023.

Pollstar predicts a great 2024 as well for Swift’s “Eras Tour.” The magazine projects the “Eras Tour” will once again reach $1 billion within their eligibility window, meaning Swift is likely to bring in over $2 billion over the span of the tour.

Worldwide, Swift’s tour was followed by Beyonce in second, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band in third, Coldplay in fourth and Harry Styles in fifth.

In North America, Swift is followed by Beyonce, Morgan Wallen, Drake and Pink.
