The success of Taylor Swift's 'Eras' Tour is having a noticeable effect on the U.S. economy. In its latest Beige Book, the Federal Reserve is giving a nod to Swift for boosting hotel revenues considerably in Philadelphia. She performed three concerts at Lincoln Financial Field back in May, and the Fed reported it was the strongest month for Philly hotels since before the pandemic. Some cities have seen hotel prices more than triple in anticipation for her shows. Swifts' U.S. tour could generate four-point-six billion dollars in total consumer spending, which is larger than the GDP of 35 countries.
