Taylor Swift began her music career with romantic country ballads, such as “Love Story” and “Tim McGraw,” but that isn’t the only the pop star makes money! The Pennsylvania-born artist has an extremely high net worth thanks to her many talents.
What Is Taylor Swift’s Net Worth?
Once Taylor established herself as a superstar pop singer, she reached a staggering net worth of $740 million in 2023, according to Forbes, taking the No. 34 ranking of wealthiest self-made women in America. The singer started writing music in her early teens, working her way up the industry’s ladder to fame. However, the money she makes is also due to various endorsement deals, concert tours and even participation in the movie business.
When Did Taylor Swift Become Famous?
After releasing Fearless in 2008, Taylor’s second album reached number one on the Billboard charts in the U.S., New Zealand and Canada. This album — along with her first album, simply titled Taylor Swift — was certified platinum multiple times after the initial release.
By 2010, the “Should’ve Said No” artist explored more pop sound when she released her third album Speak Now followed by 2014’s Red. She announced a formal transition to pop with 2014’s 1989. Reeling from the criticism that came with fame, Taylor introduced more rebellious music in her album Reputation in 2017, which had a financially successful stadium tour grossing over $200 million, and returned to a sweeter sound with 2019’s Lover.
From 2009 through 2018, Taylor embarked on five concert tours, which overall received over $900 million.
After the artist came out with her 2020 album Folklore, she was named “Artist of the Decade” at the American Music Awards.
Taylor added her ninth studio album Evermore in 2020, immediately after releasing Folklore.
In 2021, the songstress started rereleasing new recordings of her old albums. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) was released that April followed by Red (Taylor’s Version) in November. Many radio stations across the country have replaced her old versions, owned by her former label Big Machine Records, with Swift’s new and improved versions.
If she wasn’t busy enough, the songstress released her 10th studio album, Midnights, in October 2022 and surprised fans with seven bonus tracks titled on the Midnights (3am Edition).
Forbes pointed out that “after releasing her album Midnights in October 2022, Taylor became the first artist in history to claim the top ten spots on the Billboard Hot 100 song list.
Taylor kicked off the Eras Tour on March 17, 2023, while the American leg is scheduled to end on August 9, 2023. Forbes noted that when tickets went on sale in November 2022, the demand was so high that it overwhelmed Ticketmaster.
