"I finally got my hands on the customs & freight info for The Eras Tour and it's bananas y'all," Liz wrote on the thread, which began with a photo of the giant cargo vessel loaded with "around 19,200sq feet of containers."
"There's 2,206 separately tagged items spread across 60 XL (40ft) shipping containers," read one of the tweets, which also revealed that two of the containers with labeled with 'wardrobe & dry cleaning,' while another three containers were labeled as 'props.'"
"There’s also containers for the lighting, cameras & video, pyro, merch, cabin, and Folkmore trees."
Following Swift's final Eras Tour show in London, England in August, the tour equipment left the UK on Aug. 27 and arrived in Florida on Sept. 19.
And according to Liz's research, it cost a hefty price.
"The Eras Tour shipment was declared at a total value of $15,398,920 USD - inclusive of freight and insurance," Liz wrote in one post, while continuing in a follow-up tweet, "So according to Taylor’s own company - Firefly Productions - and her freight contractor, The Eras Tour production equipment, stage, lighting, costumes, instruments and assumably everything else you see when she’s on stage, costs more than $15,000,000 USD."
"Oh this is a fun breakdown! Great job detective!" one fan celebrated, while someone else said, "Okay this is the kind of random, but actually fascinating info we need."
Other Swifties were completely shocked to learn some of the logistical details, including one person who said, "This is absolutely insane."
"Why did I think they flew all the equipment? It's on a freaking BOAT!!!" someone else wrote.
One user called the new information "really fascinating," while another person insisted, "I need a documentary just on her tour logistics.
