Taylor Swift gives ‘life-changing’ $100,000 bonuses to Eras Tour truck drivers

Before finishing the US part of her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift wanted to show her appreciation to the hardworking crew who travelled with her.

This includes the tour’s truck drivers who did a lot of important work on the road. To thank them, Taylor surprised each trucker with a big bonus – a check for $100,000! The trucking staff was stunned and grateful for this generous gesture from Taylor Swift.

Shomotion is one of the two companies that help with transporting things for the tour. They handle moving the stage and the structure, which is like the skeleton that holds everything up during the concert.

Around 50 members of the trucking crews, including Shomotion’s staff, got a special bonus, but the exact number is not disclosed.

Normally, people in this job might get a bonus of $5,000 to $10,000, but Taylor Swift’s bonus was way bigger – each person received $100,000!

This was really generous and way more than anyone expected. It’s an amazing surprise for the hardworking truckers on the tour.

The bonus that Taylor Swift gave to the truckers is more than just a regular bonus. It’s a huge amount of money that can change their lives.

These hardworking men and women spend a lot of time on the road, working at night and sleeping during the day. It’s tough because they have to be away from their families, even their young kids, for many weeks. Taylor’s tour alone kept them away from home for 24 weeks!

Getting $100,000 is a big deal. It’s like a good start for buying a house or paying for a child’s college education. Usually, their regular wages don’t let them afford such things, but this bonus opens up new possibilities for them. It’s a really wonderful and life-changing surprise!

A surprise meeting

The truck drivers were really surprised when they were asked to attend a meeting on Monday. They thought it was just a normal meeting about the production stuff. But, it turned out to be much more special.

Guess what? Taylor Swift’s father, Scott Swift, showed up as a surprise!

During the meeting, something very special happened. Taylor Swift’s father, Scott, who usually doesn’t lead the meetings, gave a speech.

He said that Taylor and he decided that everyone should get a bonus because they appreciate the hard work of the drivers so much.

Taylor even took the time to write a personal note to each driver and put a fancy wax seal with her initials on the envelope. Inside each envelope was the amount of the bonus.

When the drivers saw it, they were surprised. One thought it was $1,000, another saw $10,000, and one thought it was just a joke! After the notes, the drivers were given their checks with the proper tax documents.

Not only the drivers but also other crew members, like those in catering, video, audio, and lighting, got bonuses too.

It was a really kind and thoughtful gesture from Taylor and her family to show how much they value the hard work of the tour crew.
