“Looking at this crowd, the biggest crowd we’ve had in our four shows here!” she said to thunderous applause.
The Eras Tour was seen by more than 600,000 people on the Australian leg.

The pop sensation reportedly earned $25 million per show in Sydney.

“The Swift Effect is undeniable when it comes to the economic impact her tour delivers to host cities,” Accommodation Australia CEO Michael Johnson said. The Daily Telegraph.
“Based on past calculations, her shows could inject between $150 and $200 million into a state’s economy, just as we saw in Melbourne.”
The NSW economy was booming in many sectors, with hotel rooms fully booked, restaurants and bars packed and thousands of fans gorging on merchandise.
Meanwhile, tax lawyer Harry Dell revealed Swift allegedly paid 30 percent tax to the Australian Taxation Office on her concert income.
This means the Australian government collected approximately $10 million in taxes from Swift during her four Sydney shows.
In Victoria, Swift injected a whopping $174 million into the state’s economy after her three shows in Melbourne.
Thousands of fans collectively spent $86 million across the accommodation, hospitality and tourism sectors, with CBD spending up 30% compared to the previous month.
