Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour is breaking records worldwide, but not just in ticket sales. From Wembley Stadium in London to AT&T Stadium in Texas, Swifties are turning every concert into a digital extravaganza. Let’s delve into how fans are making history with their phones.^‍

Wembley Stadium, a legendary venue in London, witnessed an unprecedented surge in data usage during Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour according to EE. Over three consecutive nights, Swifties at Wembley set jaw-dropping records.

‍

‍

• Friday, 21st June: 5.16 TB (equivalent to approximately 1,032,000 songs or 1,290 movies.)
• Saturday, 22nd June: 5.57 TB (equivalent to listening to Taylor’s entire back catalogue for ten years!!)
• Sunday, 23rd June: 5.48 TB (equivalent to around 1,826,667 photos.)

‍

These numbers are mind blowing, surpassing the data usage at the recent UEFA Champions League final, the 2024 FA Cup final, and even Harry Styles’ concert at Wembley in 2023. Swifties clearly didn’t feel the need to calm down as they shared their concert moments non-stop, flooding the internet with The Eras Tour mania.

‍

Around 12% of Wembley’s nightly crowd of 90,000 were international visitors, with fans from the USA, Canada, France, and Spain leading the charge. The influx of international Swifties using EE’s network underscores the global pull of Taylor’s tour, with fans willing to travel internationally to see the superstar.

‍

And guess what? 

‍

Taylor is due to return to Wembley Stadium in August 2024, so her fans have the chance to knock these records out of the woods (or park) once again.

‍

Taylor Swift didn’t just break records in London; she also left her mark at top stadiums across Europe and the USA.

‍

Swifties broke Vodafone Portugal’s data traffic record with a staggering 4.8 TB on the second night, surpassing any football game ever held at the stadium.

‍

Fans continued the momentum with an impressive 6.3 TB of data usage, setting a new record at the venue.

Although The Eras Tour is nearing its conclusion after 152 dates, there are still a few more important stops including five more nights at Wembley, a return to the USA, and an exciting finale in Canada.
