330 shows
6.25 million fans
More than 32 MILLION notes played.
Two marriage proposals
16 Gucci suits
120,000 concert programs
38,610 "LAs" sung during "Crocodile Rock"
Thousands of boas, glasses, and Dodgers outfits worn by fans
990 drumsticks
This is also the highest-grossing tour of all time, raking in $887 MILLION. But Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is going to beat it.
