Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber's CEO, said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that both sets of fans have helped the rideshare company this summer.

Khosrowshahi added that multiple fans have gone the distance for the artists, including one who traveled over 200 miles in an Uber to reach a Swift concert in Nashville.
"One rider spent the summer on tour attending 19 shows between Taylor and @beyonce and one driver in Dallas made 40 trips taking Swifties to stadiums," he wrote.
Additionally, Beyoncé and Swift fans have been more giving during the runs of both highly successful tours. One Beyoncé fan tipped their driver $98 after a ride.
"Taylor and Beyoncé fans are also both in the giving 'Spirit' - tipping four times more than the average ride," Khosrowshahi wrote.
