There is no single official, public number for exactly how many people worked on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, but available reporting gives a good ballpark. Multiple outlets describe the operation as involving roughly 1,000 people across all roles for the live tour.
Overall team size
Most estimates say that “around 1,000” individuals were involved in putting on The Eras Tour, including onstage and behind‑the‑scenes staff. This figure covers not just the people visible during the show but also logistics, staging, and support teams that travel with the production.
Types of jobs included
Reports about the tour and its bonus payouts list a wide range of roles:
- Production crew, lighting, sound, rigging, carpenters, and other stage technicians.
- Dancers, choreographers, band members, backing vocalists, hair, makeup, and wardrobe teams.
- Truck drivers, caterers, merchandise staff, security, physical therapists, video and camera teams, and various production assistants.
Why estimates vary
The tour ran for nearly two years and 149 shows, so staffing could change over time with local hires and turnover. Some counts also differ depending on whether they include only the core traveling crew or also venue staff and one‑off local workers, which is why sources speak in estimates rather than a precise headcount.
