We've entered the Tortured Poets Department era of Taylor Swift. With fresh songs and setlists at her European shows, it's like a whole new tour.
Don't worry, American fans, she'll come back in the fall to perform her latest hits. Until then, she has a few concerts to perform.
As the biggest singer in the world on the highest-grossing tour ever, the cost to see Swift is high. Four-digits high. The price is worth it, though, for some. But what if there was a way to see her for cheaper?
Swift's remaining shows in the U.S. are expensive to get into, that's no secret. Her international shows, comparatively, aren't. That begs the question – is it cheaper to stay home and see Swift or fly out to Europe to see her instead?
The Sporting News has the answer.

Comparing Taylor Swift ticket cost for Eras Tour
Swift's concerts are some of the most expensive on the market. Of her remaining U.S. shows, the cheapest ticket available is $1,732 to her Oct. 25 show in New Orleans. Somehow, that's not the cheapest way American fans can see the popstar.
Many fans have already compiled their money and used it to travel to her shows overseas, where concert tickets are much cheaper. In some cases, the cost of flights and hotels combined is more cost-efficient than seeing her on U.S. soil. If you were to travel from Miami to London, for example, you can see Swift for $1,706 not including food and other miscellaneous costs. But you get to see England so that's a plus for many.
There are lots of options to see the singer perform in Europe. Here's a breakdown of four of her most popular European stops along with the equivalent option of flying from each city, buying a ticket and staying two nights. We've taken flights and hotel options from Expedia.
