Taylor Swift reportedly gave The Eras Tour truck drivers a bonus of $100k each
TMZ reports that Taylor Swift has given all of the crew of The Eras Tour bonuses, as the US run of shows draws to a close.
The production truck drivers who have been hauling Taylor's equipment for The Eras Tour are said to have received a bonus of $100k each. With there being around 50 truckers for her US tour, in total, Swift has shared about $5 million on the truck drivers alone.

Though this is nowhere near close to breaking the bank for her, as The Eras Tour is tipped to be one of the highest grossing tours of all time, with Swift making $1 billion in ticket sales and merchandise.
