No matter what type of music you listen to, chances are you know exactly who Taylor Swift is and can likely recite a line or two from her songs. Her music spans across the genres of country and pop earning her legions of fans known as “Swifties.” She has become not only one of the most popular but one of the most successful singers today. And she’s one of the highest-paid as well.

Here’s more on Taylor Swift’s net worth, plus a few other things you may not have known about the star.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Swift’s estimated net worth of around $900 million. But that amount continues to grow as fast as her Eras Tour concert tickets and Forbes has estimated it to be a whopping $1.1 billion.

So how does the “Shake it Off” artist’s net worth compare to some other famous musicians?

Pop star Ariana Grande still has a way to go to catch Swift with a net worth of $240 million, same with Katy Perry who has around $330 million. Beyoncé is actually worth less than Swift too with a net worth of $600 million, via Celebrity Net Worth.

In September 2023, the “Love Story” songbird sparked rumors that she found her new Romeo in Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. While the NFL star is one of the highest-paid players in the league, Swift makes Kelce’s annual salary ($12.3 million) in one night. The U.S. leg of her Eras Tour pulled in $13 million a night from ticket sales.

With over 200 million albums sold worldwide, countless streams, and sold-out tours like her Reputation tour which raked in $345.7 million in revenue and The Eras tour which has surpassed that and could gross $2.2 billion in revenue, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time. But while most of Swift’s earnings come from her music career, that’s not the only way she makes money.

The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker also has some pretty lucrative endorsement deals with some top companies like Capital One, Diet Coke, AT&T, Apple, and CoverGirl.

She also has an impressive real-estate portfolio with properties in New York City and Tennessee worth upwards of $80 million. 

Moreover, Swift helped negotiate a deal with Spotify for artists to receive a bigger share of their profits.
