Taylor Swift’s Economic And Political Clout Stands Her Out In The Music Industry – Forbes

Popular singer, Taylor Swift has been named the fifth most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.

She came ahead of every female musician, thereby making her the world’s most powerful female musician.

According to Forbes, Taylor has never had more economic, cultural and political clout than she has right now, 17 years into her remarkable music career.

The publication added that thanks to the record-breaking success of the Eras tour, Swift also became a billionaire in October.

It read, “17 years into her remarkable career, Swift has never had more economic, cultural and political clout. All of which has caused her to soar up the ranks of Forbes’ World’s Most Powerful Women, from No. 79 in 2022 to No. 5 this year.”

“Thanks to the record-breaking success of the Eras tour, Swift became a billionaire in October — making her the rare recording artist to achieve ten-figure status, joining the likes of Jay-Z (net worth: $2.5 billion) and Rihanna ($1.4 billion).”

“A three-and-a-half-hour concert retrospective of her career, the Eras tour has grossed nearly $850 million over the course of 66 U.S. shows. Its first leg has added an estimated $190 million, after tax, to Swift’s coffers, boosting her net worth to $1.1 billion. The show will head to Europe and Asia next year.”

WOW.
