Nothin' Lasts Forever

AFTER GOING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND A half. Taylor Swift's behemoth "The Eras Tour" has come to an end-breaking 18 records during its run.

"The Eras Tour" was Swift's sixth concert tour and is named after the stages of her career, with each show spanning three-and-a-half hours.

Beginning in March 2023, the tour saw the pop superstar perform 149 shows across five continents.

At 34 years old, Swift was already the moststreamed artist on Spotify in 2023 and 2024. She holds the record for most "Album of the Year" Grammys. But her groundbreaking "Eras Tour" is a game-changer unto itself, as it has gone on to be the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.

Newsweek has compiled the records Swift broke with her worldwide tour, courtesy of Action Network, a sports media company. Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Swift for comment.

The singer-songwriter has smashed numerous impressive records, taking the top spot from a variety of other iconic performers. "The Eras Tour" broke the record of Elton John's "Farewell Yellow Brick Road," which brought in $939 million over five years and 328 shows. It became the highest-grossing concert tour by a solo artist, as well as the highest-grossing concert tour of all time.

The pop superstar also broke the record of Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet Tour," becoming the highest-grossing concert tour by a female artist. It was also the first tour to ever cross the $1 billion gross threshold.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie

PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
