Congrats to Taylor Swift! The 'Sweeter Than Fiction' singer took home the most cash out of any tour in 2013 -- and she was in great company, too.
Swift grossed a total of $112.7 million, beating legends Bon Jovi who netted $107.3 million. Swift's average ticket prices were about $84, and she sold about 28,411 per show, earning roughly $2.4 million per show. She sold a total of about 1.3 million tickets on her Red tour in 2013.
