The Eras Tour performed its final performances with three sold-out shows in Vancouver, BC at BC Place with Gracie Abrams as the opener.

The Eras Tour made history as the highest grossing tour ever. The Eras Tour made $2,077,618,725 in gross sales with 10,168,008 tickets sold at an average of $204 per ticket face value. Melbourne was the most attended concert with 96,000 people in attendance.

Celebrities at the Toronto Eras Tour dates included: Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Aubrey Plaza, Eddie Vedder, Justin Mitika, and Jenna Fischer.

Taylor gave $197 million in bonuses to Eras Tour performers and crew on top of their salaries including truck drivers, caterers, merch team, lighting, sound, assistants, dancers, band, security, and more. These bonuses are in addition to the $55 million in bonuses Taylor reportedly gave the Eras Tour team in August 2023 upon the end of the first North American leg of the tour.

Taylor made a surprise visit to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City on Thursday. She visited many patients and their families, signing copies of her Eras Tour book, doing TikTok dances, and FaceTiming other family members. She also spoke with one patient who asked for a Dyson Airwrap for Christmas, who she then surprised with the next day.

America’s first USDA organic THC gummies

Cornbread Hemp has introduced America’s first USDA organic THC gummies with 10mg of THC, derived from hemp and legal in nearly all 50 states. For a healthier way to experience a carefree moment without the hangover, Cornbread’s organic edibles provide a balanced experience that won’t make you feel paranoid or anxious.

Even with 10mg of THC per gummy, they are legal to ship across America. How? The Farm Bill of 2018 legalized all hemp products with less than 0.3% THC, and all Cornbread Hemp products meet that standard.

Cornbread’s USDA organic THC Gummies are safe, stackable, and shareable for friends and family over 21.

New customers can use code BREEZE25 for 25% off.

Enjoy the moment and take your edge off, this is the good life.
