In the new Eras Tour docuseries, Taylor Swift distributes bonuses and handwritten letters to her dancers, musicians, and crew members.
Taylor Swift may be the biggest name in show business, but she’s never one to miss a chance to thank the people who helped her succeed.
Swift’s new Disney+ docuseries, “The End of an Era”, features behind-the-scenes footage from the Eras Tour, which spanned 149 concerts in 21 countries. By the final show in December 2024, it had become the first tour in history to gross over $2 billion.
In the second episode of the docuseries, “Magic in the Eras”, Swift opens up about distributing bonuses to her dancers, musicians, and crew members as each leg of the tour comes to a close.
“Bonus day is so important because setting a precedent with the Eras Tour is really important to me. Because people who work on the road, if the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus”, Swift tells the camera. “And these people just work so hard, and they are the best at what they do.”
Swift also says she hand-wrote notes to deliver with each bonus, all part of her effort to make the tour’s grueling two-year schedule “worthwhile.”
“It took me a couple weeks, but it’s fun to write them notes.
