Taylor Swift is celebrating the success of the first few shows of the European Leg of her The Eras Tour with a Portuguese and Spanish gastronomic escapade.
The Sun reported that Swift had spent $300,000 treating her The Eras Tour Europe crew in a lavish catering treat.
Swift's catering consultant spoke to the outlet, revealing that the singer spared no expense to feed all 350 crew members - including her backup dancers, instrumentalists, and all the people behind the scenes.
The consultant shared that it was Swift's way of rewarding everyone's hard work in putting out the highest-grossing tour of all time.
"Taylor is a woman who has very good taste," the insider confirmed." She loves to eat nice food and drinks. sometimes you have artists that want very basic and low-quality food and drinks. Her list of food and beverage is superb though, with many top, five-star choices."
During Swift's two-night stay in Lisbon, Portugal, she ordered Portuguese barbecue or frango de churrasco, which cost a staggering $5,500. They also ordered 1000 pieces of the traditional Portuguese egg custard pastry pastaeis de natas. The team loved the treat so much that they ordered 200 more to take on their Madrid tour.
"She knows that treating the team and crew, and herself too, very well is very important," the insider added.

As they arrived in Spain for their two-night show at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Swift stacked their pantry with $11,500 worth of Jamon Iberico de Bellota, known as "the world's most prized ham."
Swift then spent $20,000 for her crew to grub on 200 kilos of Spanish paella. Her catering team also grazed on $7,000 worth of meat, fish, and vegetables. Cheeses are budgeted separately, as the insider shared that they spent $2,500 for manchegos and goat cheese.
The global pop star also knows the importance of ending their feast with a sweet treat, so they spent $10,000 on pies, treats, and fruits.
As if that wasn't enough, the consultant also disclosed that they ordered 50 bottles of Spanish red wine and rosés, totaling $4,000 for their post-Madrid-stop refreshments.
"We deliver the best quality, and everybody has been smiling and very happy with what they have been eating and drinking since the Eras tour moved south, to the Iberia Peninsula," the consultant said. "Around $300,000 worth of food, drinks, and catering for her, the team, staff and the workers have been spent, and it's completely worth it. You've only got to look at how happy the people that worked in Lisbon, and that are working in Madrid, are."
