Pop star Taylor Swift is officially the richest female musician in history! Fueled by the success of The Eras Tour and her highly publicized master re-recordings, Swift has bypassed Rihanna and Beyoncé to become the richest female singer. She entered 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 Cool $2 Billion
At only 36 years old, Swift is worth $2 billion dollars, according to 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 started to re-record some of her old albums.
“As a result, her royalties flowed straight into her pocket, and she inspired fellow artists to take ownership of their music,” the blurb continued. “In 2024, Swift reached billionaire status thanks to The Eras Tour, which became the highest-grossing concert tour in history with revenue of $2.2 billion.”
Swift then used the money generated 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 about $450 million in ticket and merchandise sales. She followed it up with her Renaissance World Tour, which grossed nearly $600 million in 2023.
Unfortunately, neither of them is worth as much as Jay-Z. According to his Forbes profile, he is worth $2.8 billion due to his lucrative liquor businesses. He is also the chairman and cofounder of the entertainment company Roc Nation and has stakes in Tidal, the music streamer, and the 40/40 Club sports bar. His other assets include a fine art collection, his music catalog, and various 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 can increase following the release of her new song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” which was featured on the “Toy Story 5” soundtrack. She sang the song live for the first time at the “Toy Story 5” premiere 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 an 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 syncopations to things, and the chords that he would reach for are so different than what anybody else would think to go for.”
“He’s got a way of just writing such intricate, yet beautifully pure, simple lyrics about how you feel that get to the heart of it. They’re so complex,” she continued. “They’re exactly how you feel, and they’re so universal.”
She went on to say that she had Newman’s blessing as she entered the “Toy Story” world.
“Knowing I had his blessing to enter this world was really special for me and kind of helped ease what might have been a stressful situation, if I didn’t know that he was good with it,” she said, noting that he has been “amazing 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 anticipate that she will get married this year. She has been engaged to NFL star Travis Kelce since August 26, 2025.
She broke the news on Instagram, with a post captioned, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
Although many fans initially suspected she would marry in Rhode Island, where she owns a home, recent reports suggest she will marry at Madison Square Garden later this year.
