Taylor Swift's worldwide Eras Tour will boost the UK economy by almost £1 billion ($1.3 billion) as fans splash the cash to see the US music star, Barclays bank estimated Wednesday. This figure is 12 times the amount someone would spend on an average night out in the country, according to Barclays. In the UK, Swift will perform at sporting arenas in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Liverpool and London. By the end of 2023, the tour became the first to sell more than $1 billion in tickets. It is on track to more than double the amount by the time it concludes at the end of this year.
