KUALA LUMPUR, August 2 — American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is not pulling any punches in rewarding her The Eras Tour crew well.
Swift recently handed out bonuses to all working crew totalling RM249 million for her big global tour, according to sources from People.
This will include dancers, caterers, sound technicians, stage riggers, and many more working for her upcoming concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
The singer also reportedly gifted truck drivers carrying equipment RM452,900 each during her concert in Santa Clara, California over the weekend, TMZ reported.
After being one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world, her nationwide tour is set to earn a record-breaking RM4.5 billion in sales, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Swift is known for her charity work as much as her catchy pop songs, donating to food banks and charities in every city she visits for her The Eras Tour.
Online users have praised Swift for paying her crew ‘what their work is worth’ and are hoping she can keep it up for the Europe and Asian leg of her tour.
