The celebrated singer is also the only woman to appear on ‘Forbes’ list of the 10 highest-earning performers of the year.
Taylor Swift is in a league of her own — literally. Swift madeForbes’ annual list of highest-earning entertainers, where she was the only female performer to make the rankings at all.
Due to her ongoing popularity, streaming royalties, licensing fees and other income streams, the « Anti-Hero » songstress raked in an estimated $92 million in 2022.
According to Forbes, Swift could end up making even more this year. The list explained, « Crashing Ticketmaster with insane demand for her Midnights tour in November suggests an even bigger 2023 for her, as she’ll be on the road for 52 nights across the U.S. with a potential 9-figure payout as a result. »
While $92 million is undoubtedly epic, the total only earned Swift 9th place on the Top 10 list, with a number of unexpected names coming in high in the rankings.
Topping Forbes annual list is the progressive rock group Genesis, largely due to Concord Music Group buying their catalog in September for $300 million.
