00:00After nearly two years of concerts around the globe, pop superstar Taylor Swift made
00:06Vancouver the last stop on her Eris tour, the highest-grossing concert tour ever.
00:11Here's a look at the key figures behind her record-breaking shows.
00:15Swift's production company said the Eris tour earned more than $2 billion.
00:20That is almost double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history, according
00:25to the New York Times.
00:27More than 10 million people attended the tour of 149 shows spanning five continents.
00:33On Sunday, fans in Vancouver, British Columbia, attended the final concert.
00:37Is this your first Eris tour concert?
00:39No.
00:40How many other concerts have you been to?
00:43Just this one.
00:44And where at?
00:45We went to LA Night 6 at SoFi Stadium.
00:47The first time at the Eris tour concert?
00:50Yes!
00:51No.
00:52Sorry!
00:53Fans came from as far as Australia to attend the last show, spending upwards of $3,000
00:59for a ticket.
01:00My ticket cost $3,000 at the Stump Hub.
01:03Yep.
01:04Mine also cost roughly the same.
01:06It was more expensive than the flight from Australia, which is crazy.
01:11But, you know, we've been doing this for a long time.
01:14We've been in the community forever and we just had to take this moment to be here with
01:19everyone.
01:20So no matter the cost, we're always going to come and see Taylor.
01:24Eris became the world's highest-grossing concert tour last December when it earned more than
01:28$1 billion, beating Coldplay's Music of the Spheres world tour, which, according to media
01:34reports, is the only other concert tour to cross the $1 billion mark.
