KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: It's heartwarming to see Tina Knowles, the matriarch of the talented Knowles family, spreading love for both her superstar daughter Beyonce and pop sensation Taylor Swift.
The 69-year-old, who is also the mum to accomplished singer Solange, expressed her pride on Instagram by sharing a quote from the New York Times.
How long is Taylor Swift's Eras Tour?
The runtime of the Eras Tour is 165 minutes, set to capture the essence of the extensive 44-song, three-hour-long setlist.
Tina Knowles, proud mother to both Beyonce and Solange, took to Instagram to congratulate her eldest daughter on this remarkable achievement.
The economic ripple effect of such tours is evident in the increased demand for hotel accommodations, restaurant services, and recreational activities in the tour stop towns.
The quote highlighted, “Anything Beyonce does becomes a cultural event, but the Renaissance World Tour has become a cultural movement”.
“By its close this weekend, the tour will have generated an estimated $4.5 billion for the American economy, about as much as the 2008 Olympics did for Beijing”.
Twitter users have joined forces to support Knowles saying, "Girl Power" on a Pop Base X post.
Another X post read, "Two beautiful women boosting the economy and giving the girl extreme hope".
"These beauties have contributed a lot to the US," another said.
Another post read, "Inspiring words from Tina Knowles! Beyoncé and Taylor Swift's impact isn't just about music. It's about empowering young women and fueling economies. Their influence is immeasurable, and we celebrate their achievements together!".
How much did the Eras Tour make?
The Eras Tour is making waves not just in music but also in its economic impact, with Forbes estimating it to stimulate nearly $5 billion in consumer spending within the United States alone.
The Eras Tour, scheduled to run for an additional seven months with a possible extension, is poised to conclude in Toronto in November 2024.
The economic boost it provides to the local economies is a testament to the cultural movement it has become.
Meanwhile, Beyonce's Renaissance Tour, another lucrative venture, is set to conclude on October 1 at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
