Taylor Swift earns Billie Jean King's praise for breaking $2,000,000,000 revenue with Eras Tour & making significant cultural impact

Billie Jean King has always been a big fan of Taylor Swift, and her admiration was clear once again when she celebrated Swift's incredible achievement with her Eras Tour. The tour, which concluded in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sunday, grossed over $2B, making it the most lucrative tour in history.

The Eras Tour spanned 149 shows across five continents over 21 months, starting in March 2023. It surpassed Coldplay's ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour, which has earned $1.14B over its 2.5-year run, according to a New York Times report.

King took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:

"Taylor Swift's Eras Tour broke the all-time touring record, with $2B in revenue, double the previous record held by Coldplay. This milestone is worthy of praise, of course, but @taylorswift13's impact on music and culture goes well beyond this."

"I became a fan after watching her 2020 documentary, Miss Americana, and was so impressed with her generosity and kindness toward her fans and the people on her team. I just love the inclusivity of the friendship bracelet trading trend that happens at her concerts," she added.

The 12-time Grand Slam champion continued:

"Congratulations, Taylor! Looking forward to watching what you accomplish next."

The Eras Tour is a celebration of Taylor Swift's entire musical journey, with each "era" representing a different phase of her career. From her early albums, such as Fearless, to recent ones such as Midnights, it displays her evolution as an artist.
