Taylor Swift Just Earned Billionaire Status

Taylor Swift has earned over 12 Grammy Awards and counting (including three Album of the Year wins), not to mention she began her career in 2006 at the age of 15 and has accumulated quite the discography with the most number-one debuts by a female musician. Now, she’s adding another title to her impressive résumé, because Swift just entered her billionaire era.

Today, Bloomberg reported that the multi-hyphenate star accomplished a rare status for a pop singer: billionaire. After her record-breaking Eras tour (including The Eras Tour film becoming the highest-grossing concert film during its opening weekend) which racked up $80 million in music sales, and the success of her re-recording projects (an estimated $400 million value), everything cumulated into Taylor crossing the threshold into billionaire status. The singer-songwriter’s net worth is an estimated $1.1 billion.

In 2019, the “Blank Space” singer announced she was working on re-recording her old albums, and just in time to celebrate her new monetary status, she dropped 1989 (Taylor's Version) on Friday, nine years after the original album was released.

"I was born in 1989, reinvented for the first time in 2014, and a part of me was reclaimed in 2023 with the release of this album I love so dearly," Taylor wrote on Oct. 26 on X (formerly known as Twitter). "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the magic you would sprinkle on my life for so long. This moment is a reflection of the woods we've wandered through and all this love between us still glowing in the darkest dark. I present to you, with gratitude and wild wonder, my version of 1989. It's been waiting for you."
