Taylor Swift gives 'life-changing' $100,000 bonuses to Eras Tour truck drivers

Taylor Swift is going out in "Style."

On the eve of wrapping up the US leg of her wildly successful Eras Tour, Swift on Monday thanked a slew of crew members who have done serious heavy lifting on the road with her - among them, the tour's truck drivers - with a hefty bonus.

Swift stunned the tour's trucking staff by giving each trucker a check in the amount of $100,000, Michael Scherkenbach, founder and CEO of Denver, Colorado-based Shomotion trucking company, told CNN.

Shomotion is one of two transportation companies used by the tour, he said. "My company handles transportation of the stage and structure, pretty much the skeleton that everything hangs on at the concert venue."

While Scherkenbach declined to disclose how many of his staff received the six-figure bonus, he said it was a total of nearly 50 members of the combined trucking crews.

The "generous" amount, he said, far exceeds the standard expected bonus. "The typical amount is $5,000 to $10,000 each. So this large amount is unbelievable."

But more than that, Scherkenbach said it is a "life-changing" amount of money.
