During the European stretch of The Eras tour, Taylor Swift plans to invest a staggering $5 million in using her personal jet.

Starting her European tour with grand success, the 14-time Grammy winner is making waves with a series of blockbuster shows expected to rake in a whopping $2 billion this year. Fresh off captivating performances in Paris, France, the "Guilty As Sin" singer is now gearing up to wow audiences in Gothenburg as she embarks on a 57-night show across the continent.

According to a recent report by The Sun, Swift logged an impressive 178,000 miles on her aircraft the previous year. Her jet-setting ways have continued into 2024, as evidenced by her speedy journey from Tokyo to Las Vegas to witness her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, clinch his third Super Bowl victory.

Embarking on a journey across Europe, The Eras tour will visit 19 cities throughout the upcoming three months, marking a thrilling chapter for the 34-year-old singer-songwriter. Swift's preference for luxury travel is well-known but doesn't come cheap.

Consulting with a seasoned external advisor, The Sun gained insights from someone with a remarkable 25-year career collaborating with iconic bands such as U2 and the Rolling Stones. Diving into luxury travel, the expert focuses on delivering premium experiences to his high-profile clientele.

Reportedly, the jet fee for touchdown in Paris alone amounted to $6,000, while daily parking costs topped off at approximately $5,000. Embarking on a 10-day adventure in the heart of the nation's capital, with four scheduled stops in Lyon, the jet's transport solely for the French segment costs $85,000.

According to the expert, "That's without the kerosene, security, and if the plane doesn't fly in between those days in Paris and Lyon."

Cost is not a concern for Swift preparing to kick off a tour expected to surpass her previous record and become the top-grossing tour of all time.

According to the knowledgeable source, Sweden is one of the priciest destinations for private plane landings and parking.

The cost of traveling to Madrid isn't cheap-the flight costs $6,500, and dock fees for the lavish ship are an additional $7,000.

Extra security measures have been implemented to ensure Swift can enjoy some peace and quiet amidst the chaos.

Considering the total sum across all European cities, from Warsaw to Vienna to the sprawling metropolis of London, the informant estimates that Swift's final expenses will undoubtedly surpass $5 million.

They told the outlet, "It's part of the tour and part of her experience in Europe, and the money is huge so they can afford it."

"In my estimation, between the costs of fuel, landing fees, parking fees, but also security and maintenance of the plane, which in some countries has to be done by external private companies, which involves an extra cost, the expenses linked with traveling and using the private jet is going to be massive. But as it's her favorite way to travel, that luxury comes with a cost."
