Question

Taylor Swift gave a total of $55million in bonuses to the eras tour crew

Answer 1

This does appear to be true, as proven by multiple sources! There were also videos by family members of the truck drivers backing up the claim. There is just an abundance of evidence proving this to be true. There are also no reliable sources stating this to be false, so it is most likely if not 100% correct.

Answer 2

It does appear as if this statement is true, and here are some outside resources that also verify it:

According to CNN, they interviewed a trucker, Michael Scherkenbach, who disclosed that nearly 50 members of the combined trucking crews (as there are two of them for transportation) received the six-figure bonus of $100,000. This is surprising to the members of the crew because a bonus is typically in the range of $5,000-$10,000, whereas this bonus appears as "life-changing."

As well, CBS News further confirmed the same information in their article according to Entertainment Tonight: the singer gave about 50 truck drivers $100,000. However, in this article it further states how Taylor Swift also gave bonuses to other crew members, so her dancers, musicians, lighting and sound technicians, and caterers. Here is the link for that article: CBS News

Since CNN, CBS News, and Entertainment Tonight all confirmed this information and seem to be verifying off of each other, I can honestly say that I think this statement holds true. No other articles on Google appeared to discredit this claim; all three of these news sites also hold credibility for themselves.

Nice job on finding multiple resources and adding them in the paragraph to solidify your claim.  You also did a nice job on analyzing the resources.
