#Taylor Swift is boosting the economy with her Eras Tour, Federal Reserve says

Since its start on March 17, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has taken cities across the country by storm. Now, the Federal Reserve has found that Swift’s tour is helping boost the economy.

The Philadelphia Federal Reserve office announced Wednesday that Swift’s tour has helped boost hotel revenues in the city. The announcement came in the central bank’s Beige Book, which summarizes how different parts of the economy are doing in cities across the U.S.

“Despite the slowing recovery in tourism in the region overall, one contact highlighted that May was the strongest month for hotel revenue in Philadelphia since the onset of the pandemic, in large part due to an influx of guests for the Taylor Swift concerts in the city,” Philadelphia Federal Reserve officials reported.

Swift occupied the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia with her tour earlier this year, performing on May 12, 13 and 14 with her 44-song set list.

More than 44,000 hotel rooms were used each night of the concert, which ran from June 2-4, and $39 million was generated in hotel revenue for Chicago, according to Choose Chicago. The organization also stated that other events that weekend, including the James Beard Awards and the ASCO Annual Meeting, contributed to the tremendous number of occupied rooms.
