Taylor Swift is shimmering with gratitude as she shares the life-changing way she spent the money she made during the Eras Tour.

During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday (December 10), the "Opalite" singer revealed she used the money made during the record-breaking tour, which ran from March 2023 to December 2024 and reportedly grossed more than $2 billion in ticket sales, to buy back the master recordings for her first six albums, per E! News.

"My fans are why I was able to get my music back," she said. "That's how I spent that Eras Tour money."

Swift announced the news in an emotional letter on her website in May, admitting that she "bursting into tears of joy" after years of attempting to reclaim the masters to her older music.

"The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work," she said. "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it."

In the Late Show interview, the Life of a Showgirl hitmaker detailed how hearing her old music was a "strange" experience and why getting her masters back meant the world to her.

"It was this strange, conflicted feeling of like, 'those are my memories,' and that's when I was going through that," she said. "A recording is such a snapshot of where you are in your life."

Swift went on to tell Colbert that purchasing her masters as well as getting engaged to fiancé Travis Kelce are two major events that both happened this year that she did not expect.

"Those two things, getting engaged to the love of my life, getting all my music back — those are two things that just, never could've happened," she said. "They never could have happened. It wasn't like, 'Oh, it's just a matter of time.' Both those things could've never arrived in my life. And I'm so grateful for both of those things happening."
