Taylor Swift – Net Worth and Income

How much money does Taylor Swift really have?

If necessary, she will also take on Apple – to fight for the rights of musicians. And successfully. Country and pop singer Taylor Swift is adept at playing the keyboard of social media. No matter what she tweets or posts, she is guaranteed to get attention. This also applies to her talents, of which making music is just one. The 13-time Grammy winner also cuts a fine figure as an entrepreneur .

Taylor Swift’s earnings from 2012 show just how important country music is in the USA. With around 36 million dollars, she topped the top 40 list of the Billboard charts of super earners. Between June 2015 and June 2016, however, the singer outdid everyone else, earning a total of 170 million US dollars , making her the top earner among all stars and celebrities worldwide. Between 2018 and 2019, she was able to break her record again with an income of 185 million US dollars . Taylor Swift’s fortune is estimated at around 1.19 billion euros.

How old is Taylor Swift Daughter

Taylor Swift has not publicly confirmed having any children as of 2024. However, in the music video for her song “Lover,” there is a scene that depicts Taylor and her love interest, a black man, as parents to a young black girl. The video opens with the girl opening a Christmas present containing a snow globe, which serves as a visual representation of the couple’s relationship. As the video progresses, it shows Taylor and her partner falling in love and sharing intimate moments together. At the end of the video, the camera pans back out of the snow globe, revealing that the girl is the couple’s daughter. She is delighted by the gift, which tells the story of her parents’ love, and runs to embrace them, suggesting a happy family dynamic. While this scene in the music video implies that Taylor and her partner have a child together, it is important to note that this is a fictional narrative and does not reflect Taylor’s actual personal life or relationship status.

Top earners at concerts

No one in the world earns as much money from concerts as Taylor Swift. She is said to bring in an average of 8.5 million euros per concert for the organizers. That’s around 102 euros per ticket sold. She only gets a fraction of that herself, of course, but the fees from live performances contribute a large part to her fortune. Ed Sheeran is in second place in terms of concert revenue . (7 million euros per concert)

A sensational career

Music and a sense for business: that was the environment into which Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989. Her grandmother was an opera singer, her mother a marketing expert, her father a financial advisor – what could go wrong? Even as a child, she was impressed by the great female stars of country music. These included classics such as Dolly Parton and the late Patsy Cline. Shania Twain and LeAnn Rimes were also part of Swift’s early musical fare.

It is said that when she was a teenager, her parents persuaded her to move from Pennsylvania to Tennessee. In the city of Hendersonville, Taylor Swift was already much closer to the most important hub of country music: Nashville. At the tender age of 14, the young talent landed her first record deal during a performance . In 2006, the singer and songwriter released her first single, closely followed by her debut album, simply titled “Taylor Swift”. The American record industry was not stingy and awarded her a 5x platinum award. The record sold around 5.5 million copies worldwide.

Taylor Swift Awards

But this was only the beginning of a musical career that was to grow into one of the most successful in recent years. Taylor Swift has received a total of 13 Grammy Awards – the equivalent of the Oscar in the film industry – for her successes to date. And rightly so, because in addition to her singing performance, she also shines with her skills as a songwriter and producer . With her 5th album “1989”, released in October 2014, Swift released her first purely pop album. Apparently no one held her back for turning away from country. With more than 8.6 million units sold, the artist once again received several gold and platinum awards worldwide.

When Apple wanted to launch a music service in 2015 with a 3-month free trial subscription – which would leave the musicians empty-handed – Swift protested. After she posted an open letter to the company as a Twitter attachment, Cupertino immediately became upset. Apple also announced on Twitter that it wanted to pay the musicians during these 3 months. The singer’s unbeatable argument: “You don’t give us iPhones, why should we give you our music?”

Earnings on Spotify

Taylor is also one of the top musicians on Spotify . The singer earns around 25 million euros every year on the streaming platform with almost 4 billion streams a year. Given her incredible wealth, music streaming only accounts for a fraction of her income.

Advertising contracts

Taylor Swift has prominently promoted the following brands. Even though details of the deals are not known, the artist’s earnings are likely to be in the 6- to 7-digit range. A not unreasonable comparison: colleague Beyonce received around 50 million dollars as a brand ambassador for Pepsi.

• American Greetings
• CoverGirl
• Sony
• Elizabeth Arden
• Coke
• Lei Jeans

Houses and private jet

Taylor Swift owns several high-quality properties between the east and west coasts of the United States. Total value: 85 million US dollars. This includes a 4 million dollar house in Beverly Hills , where she hosted a private listening session of her album “1989” for 89 fans. In Nashville, she owns a penthouse apartment (2 million dollars); in 2011, she bought a 2.5 million dollar property here for her parents. In the smallest state in the USA, Rhode Island/New England, she shelled out 17.75 million dollars for a country estate – cash. Swift flies from one house to the next in one of her two  private jets, a Falcon 900 from the French aircraft manufacturer Dassault, purchase price: around 40 million dollars.
