Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is set to break records, with some estimating it could gross $1.4 billion. Swift is set to take home hundreds of millions of dollars — and "mini-residencies" will help. There's no arguing that, when it comes to her Eras tour, Taylor Swift is polishing up real nice. This will likely be an immensely profitable tour for Swift no matter what, but thanks to one key business move, she's set to make even more. "The totality of Taylor Swifts' U.S. tour could generate $4.6 billion in total consumer spending, larger than the GDP of 35 countries," the Common Sense Institute estimated.

Media and entertainment deal-making has slowed, but private equity players are still betting big on the space. Middle Eastern sources are still providing funding to media, which could fuel deals in the months ahead. Media deal volume has actually increased, just not as fast; PwC recorded media deals rose 3% (to 326) in the six months through May, down from a 7% increase in the previous six months. And beyond private equity, legacy players could shed properties they consider non-core: Paramount is trying to offload BET while Warner Bros. Insider's list of top private equity players in media and entertainment highlights 17 firms, from heavy hitters to smaller upstarts, based on our reporting and conversations with investors and insiders.

Tom Cruise looks like he's headed for another summer on top at the box office. A China opening could add millions of dollars to the film's gross — and to Cruise's pockets. Tom Cruise had a pretty great 2022, with a top-grossing film, a best picture nomination at the Oscars, and a slew of good press. But this isn't just good for "Mission Impossible" — it will also boost Cruise's payday, which is likely linked to the film's performance. But for Cruise, every dollar — or Yuan — that the films brings in means more money to his pocket.

Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino says it's time for the platform to enter "Twitter 2.0." In an email to employees, Yaccarino said: "You should have the freedom to speak your mind." Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino is sharing her vision for "Twitter 2.0" — and it sounds a lot like owner Elon Musk's ambitions. In an email sent Monday to Twitter employees, Yaccarino said it's her mission to turn Twitter into "the world's most accurate real-time information source." "That's not an empty promise," she wrote, later sharing the email — with some slight tweaks — in a public thread on Twitter.

When hedge fund Three Arrows Capital collapsed last year, it left the crypto world reeling. But the firm's founders, Kyle Davies and Su Zhu, have reportedly had it pretty good ever since. Just because your crypto firm collapsed, doesn't mean you are going to end up on house arrest at your parents' pad. As the liquidation process began for their crypto firm, both founders flew to Bali — Indonesia notably doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States — the Times reported. According to the Times, Zhu started to hang out with surfers and UFC fighters.

Instagram appears to be testing out an AI chatbot, according to a mobile developer. The chatbot could answer questions, give advice, and help users write messages. Earlier this year, Snapchat released its own AI chatbot to generally negative reviews. Users will be able to choose between 30 different personalities for the AI agents, Paluzzi says. The company is developing a way for advertisers to create and test ads using AI.

Apple execs didn't mention AI once during the company's WWDC keynote. It was a deliberate choice and a stark contrast to other Big Tech companies that have embraced the term. During Microsoft, Meta, Alphabet, and Amazon's first quarter earnings calls in April, AI was cumulatively mentioned 168 times, for example. Most other Big Tech companies would likely tout these as "AI innovations" to appeal to the current enthusiasm around the term. The word wasn't mentioned one time during the entire keynote, even though many rivals would likely use the word to describe the Vision Pro headset.

Internal Twitter documents show the platform's ad revenue down 59% year-over-year, The New York Times reported. Growing ad revenue will likely be a top priority for Twitter's new CEO Linda Yaccarino. "Almost all advertisers have come back or said they are going to come back," he told BBC in April. While some of those advertisers have returned, the new report shows that not enough have come back to make up for lost revenue. The problem will be top on the list for new CEO Yaccarino, whose rich advertising background must have appealed to Musk.
