Pop star Taylor Swift is officially the richest female musician in history! Fueled by the success of The Eras Tour and her much-discussed master re-recordings, Swift has passed Rihanna And Beyonce to become the richest singer. She joined the billionaire club in late 2023 and effectively doubled her net worth by 2026, thanks in part to her world-breaking tour and massive music catalog.
Taylor Swift is now worth a whopping $2 billion
At just 36 years old, Swift is said to be worth $2 billion Forbes. The publication called her “one of the most commercially successful songwriters of all time” and described how she changed the music industry in 2020 when she began re-recording some of her old albums.
“As a result, her royalties flowed directly into her pocket and she inspired fellow artists to take ownership of their music,” the blurb continued. “In 2024, Swift achieved billionaire status thanks to The Eras Tour, which became the highest-grossing concert tour in history with $2.2 billion in revenue.”
Swift then used the money she made from her tour to buy back her original masters for approximately $360 million.
Where Swift stands among the greats
According to Forbes, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, 44, became the fifth musician to reach billionaire status last December, thanks in part to her country music album, Cowboy Carter. It won Album of the Year at the Grammys and made her the first black woman to win for Best Country Album. The Cowboy Carter Tour became the highest-grossing concert tour of 2025, earning approximately $450 million in ticket and merchandise sales. She followed it up with her Renaissance World Tour, which grossed almost $600 million in 2023.
Unfortunately, neither is worth as much as Jay Z. According to his Forbes profile, he is worth $2.8 billion thanks to his lucrative beverage business. He is also the chairman and co-founder of the entertainment company Roc Nation and has interests in Tidal, the music streamer and the sports bar 40/40 Club. His other assets include an art collection, his music catalog and several shares in companies like Block and Uber.
Will Taylor Swift’s Net Worth Increase With ‘Toy Story 5’?
It’s possible that Swift’s net worth could increase following the release of her new song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which was featured on the “Toy Story 5” soundtrack. She performed the song live for the first time at the premiere of “Toy Story 5” in Los Angeles on June 9. She also took the stage to perform a surprise duet of “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” with Randy Newman.
Swift had nothing but praise for the legendary composer in one exclusive interview for the ABC special “Toy Story 30 Years and Beyond – A Special Edition of 20/20.”’
“There’s country, pop, folk, rock, Randy Newman,” Swift said. “He has his own signature syncopation with things, and the chords he would reach for are so different than what anyone else would think they were going for.”
“He has a way of writing such complicated, yet beautifully pure, simple lyrics about how you feel, that get to the heart of it. They’re so complex,” she continued. “They are exactly how you feel, and they are so universal.”
She went on to say that she had Newman’s blessing when she entered the “Toy Story” world.
“Knowing that I had his blessing to enter this world was very special to me and helped somewhat alleviate what could have been a stressful situation if I didn’t know he was good at it,” she said, noting that he was “wonderful and supportive and encouraging” of her new song.
Taylor Swift is engaged to Travis Kelce
2026 is another big year for Swift. In addition to the release of her new song, many fans expect her to get married this year. She is engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce since August 26, 2025.
She broke the news Instagramwith a message that reads: ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.’
While many fans initially suspected she would get married in Rhode Island, where she owns a home, recent reports suggest she will get married at Madison Square Garden later this year.
