Taylor Swift’s 1989 tour returns to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Tours recap , her sixth turn this year atop the weekly tally of highest-grossing touring artists. Ticket sales totaling $13.6 million reported this week from three venues on the second North American leg bring the world tour’s overall gross to $173 million from 59 reported concerts.
The current run through U.S. and Canadian markets began with an arena performance on July 6 in Ottawa. Now in its homestretch, the 17-week jaunt is set to wrap in Tampa at the end of October. Since the 1989 tour launched in May, Swift has performed for more than 1.5 million fans at 24 arenas and 13 stadiums based on reported box office stats.
Shania Twain scores a Hot Tours ranking this week, landing at No. 2 with $13.6 million in revenue from her farewell tour titled Rock This Country. From 16 concerts recently reported by tour promoter AEG Live, the country femme’s sold ticket count jumps by more than 155,000, bringing the overall tour attendance to 648,071. Grosses add up to $61 million from 60 performances reported since the June opener.
