Watch Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour crew nearly faint as singer gifts them $197M in bonuses

Swifties can now watch the emotional moment Taylor Swift brought her Eras Tour crew to tears with her generous gift of $197 million in bonuses.

In a scene from her new docuseries “The End of an Era,” the “Lover” hitmaker could be seen passing out handwritten notes to each of her crew members as they gathered around the pop star.

“Everybody has the same message on their cards so I was hoping you could open it together,” Swift, 36, told the crowd in a clip shared on X Friday.

“Before you open yours I just want to say you guys this leg of the tour has been harder than anything I’ve ever done in a live setting and you guys have taken this on with such excitement, such curiosity and the endurance you’ve shown. The spirit you’ve shown.”

“How much you’ve given to these crowds, that gives to me every single night. The tour has done really well thanks to all of our hard work. So if you could kindly read the message.”

Then, one of the crew members named Cam read his message aloud.

“Dearest Cam, we’ve travelled the world like we set out to do. We’ve dazzled the crowds but we’ve missed family too,” he read.

“My full gratitude doesn’t come from a bank but here’s a [redacted] dollars just to say thanks. Love Taylor,” he continued. The exact amount of money Swift gave to the dancers was censored in the clip.

Almost immediately, the scene skipped to show a sea of crew members wiping away their tears at the thoughtful gesture.

In another moment, one of Swift’s production assistants, Max Holmes, was seen getting a hug from one of his co-workers after he said he was “gonna pass out.”

The Grammy winner then hugged several crew members and exchanged “I love yous” with the elated room.

Elsewhere in the scene, Swift explained that giving out bonuses to her tour crew is significant to her “because setting a precedent with the Eras Tour is really important to me.”

“People who work on the road — if the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus. And these people just work so hard. And they are the best at what they do,” she said in a different clip shared online.

While the dollar amount was edited out of the documentary series episode, Page Six previously reported that at least one crew member was given a $100,000 bonus in January.

Over the last two years, Swift has gifted a whopping $197 million in bonuses to her Eras Tour crew including dancers; choreographers; physical therapists; hair and makeup artists; wardrobe stylists; band members; instrument, sound, lighting and pyro technicians; riggers; carpenters; video team members, production staffers and assistants; truck drivers; caterers; merchandise staffers; and security personnel.
