Turns out the truckers weren’t the only “The Eras Tour” crew members to benefit from Taylor Swift’s generosity. In total, the singer handed out over $55 million in bonuses to crew members of her ongoing world tour.

According to People, everyone from Swift’s dancers to riggers to sound technicians to caterers were awarded bonuses.

As previously reported, each of the 50 or so truckers who worked the tour received a $100,000 bonus. Michael Scherkenbach, founder of Shomotion, a transportation and logistics company working “The Eras Tour,” 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! Words cannot express our gratitude for your appreciation, recognition and generosity!”

By the time its and said and done, Swift’s “The Eras Tour” is expected to be the highest-grossing tour in music history. Beginning Thursday, she’s set to conclude the first leg of US shows with a six-night run at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. Afterward, she’ll embark on a lengthy international run of shows.
