The concert boost: How top acts like Taylor Swift, Beyonce are driving economic growth

Global News published this video item, entitled “The concert boost: How top acts like Taylor Swift, Beyonce are driving economic growth” – below is their description.

Taylor Swift recently announced Eras World Tour has sparked consternation among some Canadian fans, frustrated that the singer didn’t include any Canadian dates on her tour.

That includes one Edmonton MP who has launched an official grievance after learning the singer would not visit one Canadian city.

As fans continue to flock to concerts despite sky-high ticket prices, top musical acts like Swift and Beyoncé can be a big economic driver. On top of ticket sales, fans are also spending on hotels, merchandise and even air travel to see their favourite performers. And as Anne Gaviola reports, in countries around the world, the impact on the economy can be considerable.
