Taylor Swift has rewarded her Eras Tour performers and crew with an impressive Sh197 million in bonuses on top of their regular salaries.
The pop superstar, 34, appreciated the team members who brought her record-breaking tour to life, from dancers and choreographers to technicians and security staff.
