Why Paul Rudd starred in the music video of a fan he met at Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ tour

Taylor Swift is bringing her ‘Eras Tour’ to Inglewood, CA’s SoFi Stadium for a sextet of shows from Thursday, Aug. 3 through Wednesday, Aug.

Taylor Swift has given out over $55million (£43million) in bonuses to the crew members working on her ongoing ‘Eras Tour’.The news comes after it was reported yesterday (August 1) that the singer had gifted the production truck drivers – responsible for hauling her equipment to each live show – bonuses of $100,000 (£77,000) each.Now, as detailed by People Magazine, the pop superstar has also shared generous amounts of extra income with the remainder of her ‘Eras Tour’ crew, and the total equates to a reported amount of $55million (£43million).The bonuses arrive as Swift is about to wrap up the US leg of her mammoth world tour, with six sold-out shows at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium. The live shows kicked off in Glendale, Arizona back in March, and have since gone on to arrive at multiple cities across the country.Already, the tour is set to become one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, and is speculated to have brought in over $1billion (£778million) – potentially explaining why the hefty amount of bonuses were offered to crew members.Although the specific amount given to others working on the tour – including dancers, sound technicians, catering, riggers and more – remains unknown, Michael Scherkenbach, the founder of transportation and logistics company Shomotion, confirmed the gift in a LinkedIn post.“When [Taylor’s father] Scott Swift called the Shomotion LLC steel / stage drivers in for a meeting, this was the last thing they expected – THANK YOU,” he wrote in the update.

Nothing gets past the Swifties.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour wasn’t creating enough of a groundswell, Swifties caused such a ruckus during the Seattle, Washington leg that they generated the equivalent of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake — rivaling the legendary “Beastquake” of 2011.“This was much bigger,” Western Washington University geology professor Jackie Caplan-Auerbach told King 5 after comparing the tectonic activity.The groundbreaking phenomenon occurred over the weekend while the “Antihero” singer had performed sold-out back-to-back shows to over 144,000 fans at Lumen Field, the Seattle Times reported.Little did the Grammy winner know that her concert would prove earth-shattering in the seismic sense: The activity from the three-and-a-half-hour marathon caused quite a commotion on a seismometer located next to the stadium, which prompted Caplan-Auerback to conduct a study to see if it surpassed the previous Lumen record caused by the Beastquake. For those unfamiliar with Seattle sports lore, this seminal event occurred in 2011 after Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch scored a touchdown and fans went wild.To see how the two events compared tectonically, Caplan-Auerback first analyzed data from the two Swift shows.
