Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” has been highlighted for its significant environmental impact. Currently, the tour has involved traveling over 66,484 miles and generating 139.1 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions, primarily from air travel. This includes Swift’s private jet flights and the journeys of thousands of fans attending her shows. The tour is only partway through with 153 concerts planned across five continents over 21 months.
In cities like Warsaw, a substantial percentage of the 60,000 concertgoers came from outside the country, further contributing to the carbon footprint. Environmentalists have criticized this and suggested that Swift opt for commercial flights and implement eco-friendly practices during her events. The conversation around the tour underscores the broader issue of the environmental costs of large-scale entertainment events.
