Taylor Swift Net Worth: How Much Money the Singer Makes

Taylor Swift is in her billionaire era. The 14-time Grammy Award winner has a staggering net worth from many different avenues of income, including concert tickets, movie sales and, of course, earnings from her extensive music catalogue.

“Her prolific songwriting, negotiations around streaming and shrewd decision to rerecord her first six albums have enabled her to create massive financial success at a time musicians have lost clout in the industry,” a 2023 report about Taylor’s net worth in Bloomberg News read.

What Is Taylor Swift’s Net Worth?

Amid the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) and the success of her Eras tour concert film, Taylor hit billionaire status, according to Bloomberg News on October 27, 2023.

The publication called the report, which evaluated “assets and earnings that could be confirmed or traced from publicly disclosed figures,” the “most definitive account yet” of Taylor’s total earnings. Bloomberg took into consideration the “Lover” singer’s Eras tour concert and movie ticket sales, the value of her five properties and her music catalog, among other things.

“Swift Inc. is essentially a multinational conglomerate with the world’s most devoted customer base, its most charismatic CEO and significant economic power,” the report, which estimated ​Taylor’s total net worth to be more than $1.1 billion, read.

Taylor hit another milestone in March 2024 when she made it onto Forbes’ 2024 World’s Billionaires List, which compiled the globe’s richest people. She joined Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and others.

How Much Did Disney+ Pay Taylor Swift for the Eras Tour Concert Movie?

If Taylor’s net worth wasn’t already impressive, she received a huge pay day courtesy of Disney+, as the streaming service bought the Eras tour concert movie for $75 million, outbidding Netflix and Universal, according to multiple reports.

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 she came out with her 2020 album Folklore, the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer was named Artist of the Decade at the American Music Awards. 

Taylor released her ninth studio album Evermore in 2020, immediately after Folklore.

In 2021, the songstress began rereleasing new recordings of her old albums. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) was unveiled that April followed by Red (Taylor’s Version) in November. In 2023, Taylor released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version). 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 recordings.

As if she wasn’t busy enough, Taylor released her 10th studio album, Midnights, in October 2022 and surprised fans with seven bonus tracks on 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, and it is scheduled to end on December 8, 2024. Forbes noted that when tickets went on sale in November 2022, the demand was so high that it overwhelmed Ticketmaster.

On February 4, 2024, Taylor took home her 13th and 14th Grammy Awards, winning Pop Vocal Album and the night’s most coveted prize, Album of the Year, for Midnights. As she accepted her award for Pop Vocal Album, Taylor announced that her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, would be released on April 19, 2024.

TTPD became an instant classic, selling more than 2 million copies in the U.S. alone within two weeks of its release. It ended up spending 11 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 album chart. It became the most streamed album in a single day in Spotify’s history, with more than 300 million streams in under 24 hours.

What Movies Has Taylor Swift Acted In?

After reaching worldwide fame, the “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer acted in various films and television shows, starting with singing her single “Crazier” in Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009.  

A year later, she appeared in the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day alongside an all-star cast. The movie received negative reviews, but was a box office success, reaching over $200 million on a global scale.  

She also starred in the role of Rosemary in the dystopian novel-based film The Giver in 2014, and the Pennsylvania native was praised for her role in the otherwise poorly received 2019 musical adaptation of Cats. Her most recent acting credit was in the 2022 film Amsterdam.

The “You Belong With Me” musician also appeared on TV in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. 

In addition to acting, Taylor will soon make her feature directorial debut, as she wrote an original script for Searchlight Pictures, per Variety. The “I Knew You Were Trouble” artist announced her concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which documented her latest nationwide tour, in August 2023.

Does Taylor Swift Own a Company?

The “Love Story” artist received endorsement deals with companies across various industries, including cosmetics and technology. 

Taylor has appeared in advertisements for CoverGirl and partnered with Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sony Electronics, Diet Coke, Target and AirAsia. 

However, the pop superstar proved she doesn’t need a side hustle to become a billionaire. Though Taylor has occasionally explored traditional avenues of additional income that musicians often lean on, the 2023 Bloomberg report called her “one of the few recording artists to build a 10-figure fortune almost entirely from her music.”

How Much Did Taylor Swift Make From Her Eras Tour?

Taylor’s already massive net worth is only going to get bigger as the money rolls in from her worldwide Eras tour, which will continue through late 2024. The tour has already grossed more than $780 million, resulting in an estimated $305 million payday for Taylor, according to Forbes. And that’s just the earnings so far — Taylor is predicted to make a whopping $4.1 billion for the completed Eras tour, as The Washington Post reported.

And then there is her Eras tour concert film, which premiered on October 13, 2023. The movie earned $39 million on its opening day, according to Forbes. It brought in $96 million total its first weekend in the United States and Canada, movie theater company AMC said. The film’s successful first 48 hours made it the highest earning concert movie for an opening weekend.

According to Bloomberg‘s October 27, 2023, report about Taylor’s net worth, her 53 Eras ​tour dates so far raked in more $700 million in ticket sales. At that time, her concert film had also earned $178 million during its first month at the box office.

And Taylor’s earnings didn’t just benefit the “Blank Space” singer and her employees. Taylor’s Eras tour increased the United States’ gross domestic product by $4.3 billion, per Bloomberg.

Taylor Swift Spends Big Money in Her Romance With Travis Kelce

The “Fortnight” singer began dating the Kansas City Chiefs star in the summer of 2023, going public at the team’s home game against the Chicago Bears on September 24, 2023.

As their relationship became more serious, the three-time Super Bowl champ flew via private jet to Taylor’s Eras tour stops across Europe, as well as trips to South America, Australia and Asia to see her play. The duo spares no expense when it comes to their love story.

“Taylor and Travis have become international jetsetters and their extravagant spending is off the charts. The multiple bodyguards, the private jets, the deluxe hotel rooms, plus the romantic gestures they’re both known for probably makes them the most excessively spending couple in the world,” a source exclusively told Life & Style in July 2024. “It’s pretty extreme.”

“Since they met, they’ve both spent over a million dollars on private jets,” the insider revealed. “Taylor and Travis don’t even think about the money they’re spending. They like to be comfortable and express their love for each other and this is how they do it.”
