Europe is buzzing as Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ stops in Paris before hitting 17 more cities, predicted to give a significant boost to the economy.
Taylor Swift treats fans to 46 hits, including 7 new songs from her latest album, during her explosive performances. Forbes estimates around 42,000 fans attend each Paris show, with a large portion coming from the US due to cheaper European tickets.
Fans go to great lengths to see Swift, with some camping in Paris for days before the concerts. The concerts cause a surge in hotel bookings and merchandise sales, boosting local economies.
After Paris, the tour heads to Stockholm, Sweden, with hotels selling out and an influx of international attendees expected. Economists predict Taylor Swift’s European tour will have a larger economic impact than her US tour, benefiting various sectors.
The Guardian reports high demand for accommodations in cities where Swift performs, even months in advance. Overall, Swift’s tour not only benefits the music industry but also boosts tourism and local economies across Europe.
