Taylor is stimulating more than just our emotions. Cincinnati's economy is about to get a swift boost thanks to the "Eras Tour."
The Cincinnati Regional Chamber’s Center for Research and Data and Visit Cincy have announced the potential overall economic impact of Taylor Swift's upcoming two-night performance at Paycor Stadium on Friday, June 30 and Saturday, July 1.
Between hotels, concert tickets, transportation and food and beverage, the chamber said total consumer spending over the two days alone could reach $92 million. Of that spending, about $48 million will be newly generated spending or economic activity that would not have occurred had the Eras Tour not stopped in Cincinnati.

“The Taylor Swift Eras Tour two-day stop in Cincinnati is the only city in all of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana to host this incredible event,” Visit Cincy president and CEO Julie Calvert said in a press release. “This fact creates a unique draw for the Cincinnati region for our hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, women and minority-owned businesses, who no doubt will benefit from visitors – local, Midwest, and Southern region combined – to grow their business while at the same time creating an amazing experience that will benefit our region well beyond this weekend.”
Hotel and Airbnb rates have surged ahead of the concert and Visit Cincy expects the Cincinnati region will reach 95% occupancy.
