Taylor Swift has reached one more milestone in her career by becoming the richest female artist in the world. According to Forbes, her net worth is estimated to be $1.6 billion surpassing Rihanna as the richest female artist. But unlike all the contemporary artists, Taylor Swift’s wealth is mostly fueled by her music and not her investments. She’s the first artist to become a billionaire through her music and tours, especially her “ Eras Tour”. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour boosted her income to millions in October 2023.
Taylor Swift is one of the most influential artists in current times with over 95.3 million followers on Instagram. Taylor Swift has set new standards in the music industry by influencing and inspiring artists, showing them how to market themselves, engage with fans, and use social media the right way in building an image and career. Taylor Swift earlier had the image of “the girl next door” but now she is considered to be one of the most feminine figures speaking out loud on women’s empowerment and addressing political issues now and then. She has shaped herself into a confident and assertive figure, inspiring young women to embrace their personality and strength.
Taylor Swift has always been at the forefront of her market strategies by topping album charts, re-releasing her albums, and creating surprising content on social media. She can create buzz on social media anytime she wants. The singer is known to reflect her personal life experience in her songs with lyrics inspired by her love life. Like every other artist Taylor Swift has faced criticism on many aspects of her career, whether it’s her choices in outfits or boyfriends.
The singer who claims to be a private person never backs out from commenting on her past relationship or showcasing it in public. She has written a song about every guy she has ever dated as if she only dates them for album inspiration. This is what makes it hard to believe if her current relationship with Travis Kelce is real or just some new PR strategy. I’m not against publicising your romance but why go and shove it everywhere once you break up? The controversies she gets herself into overshadow her music sometimes.
If you think artists should be known for their talent and work rather than their love interest, leave a comment.
