It hasn't been a cruel summer for rideshare company Uber.
Fans of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have boosted Uber's demand by using the company to travel to and from concerts.
Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber's CEO, said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that both sets of fans have helped the rideshare company this summer.
"With an average of 3,000+ rides per show, we've helped hundreds of thousands of fans get 'Ready For It' to 'Run the World,'" he wrote.

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.
This isn't the first time fans have helped boost sales and demand. Recently, Michaels craft store reported an increase in bracelet-making materials sales after Swift fans started a tradition of trading bracelets at her concerts. Additionally, Swift fans have helped boost hotel revenues across the country.
