(NewsNation) — Santa Claus is coming to Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” crew.
Last year, after her ultra-successful North American tour, Taylor Swift gifted her entire staff bonuses that totaled over $55 million — including $100,000 to the truck drivers who drove her, her crew and the set across the country.
And this year, as the tour winds down this week in Toronto, word is she is set to be even more generous.
“It’s Christmas and Taylor loves and appreciates everyone she works with,” a source told me.
And what better way to show it than with cold, hard cash?
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the amount this year was double that of last year,” the source added. “It is Christmas after all and she has said she will take a year off so… it’s important to take care of the people who worked hard to make you a success.”
Meanwhile, Swift, who is reportedly spending the holidays with the Kelce clan, has already had a magical effect on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s family.
Since the two started dating, the Kelce family’s popularity has skyrocketed, and Hollywood has come calling, offering cold, hard cash.
