Guess how many semi trucks it takes to haul Taylor Swift’s tour gear
Taylor Swift’s most recent tour has an enormous convoy of semi trucks to thank for its execution.
The ‘Eras’ tour is traveling across the country this summer thanks to a fleet of 50 to 90 tractor trailers that haul a collection of LED screens, catwalks, special stages, costumes, sound equipment, lights, and even multiple snakes.
Today's stage status on Swift-Eve. Things are coming along for Taylor Swift's 3 night performance at Soldier Field in Chicago.

To make the massive shows happen, a team begins pre-prepping the venue ahead of time, and the semi trucks themselves show up days before the event. The whole set-up, show, and tear down takes about two to three weeks to complete, reports Jalopnik.
The 90 trucks that haul the show are only about ten more than the pop star required for her last tour in 2018.
Once again, thank you truckers.
