Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour ran from March 2023 to December 2024 and became the highest-grossing concert tour ever, passing $2 billion.
Swift grew up in Pennsylvania and moved to Nashville as a teenager to work on country music. She later moved to pop and has won the Grammy for album of the year four times, more than anyone else.
Her tour was so big that economists started measuring its effect on host cities’ hotels and restaurants. Iowa didn’t get a stop, so fans from Wright County drove to Minneapolis, Kansas City or Chicago.
In August 2025 she announced her engagement to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
