with small clusters of mostly young women standing up to sing and fanatically dance along as Taylor performed her set list on screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While Swifties have long been part of one of the more devout fandoms in existence, the release of the singer&#8217;s record-breaking Midnights album last year coupled with the subsequent kick-off of her Eras tour has mobilized Taylor&#8217;s fan base like never before.<\/p>\n<p>Many have even speculated that commerce both directly and indirectly tied to the Eras tour has proved so robust as to singlehandedly have a measurable economic boost in the given region surrounding a concert.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/20\/21\/76815003-12654631-A_recent_report_estimated_that_were_Taylor_Swift_an_economy_unto-a-57_1697832339325.jpg\" height=\"840\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>A recent report estimated that, were Taylor Swift an economy unto herself, she&#8217;d be bigger than the economies of 50 counties\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/20\/20\/76814963-12654631-image-m-65_1697828837030.jpg\" height=\"432\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/20\/20\/76814965-12654631-image-m-63_1697828818268.jpg\" height=\"432\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Other videos, captured from the point of view of audience members at screenings of the Eras movie, similarly capture the crowd going wild\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>BROKEN SWIFTIES = ERAS MADNESS | #taylorswift #swiftie #taylornation #swifties #tswift #swifttok #erastour #erastourfilm #fyp <\/p>\n<p>Cities where the Era tour has stopped have enjoyed a major &#8216;boost&#8217;
