Just Calculated Taylor Swift’s Net Worth and Now I’m Crying

Scrooge McDuck–levels of wealthy. But…guys. The precise amount of $$$ she’s raking in is seriously staggering—especially since we last took a look at her net worth. Since then, Taylor has released approximately one million new albums, embarked on her Eras tour, and come out with a concert film—so it’s no shock that her net worth has grown hundreds of millions in the span of just a few years. So yeah, while the rest of us were trying to decipher the meaning of that red scarf (!!), Taylor was busy making money. Let’s dig in.

Taylor’s Album Sales Are Through the Roof
Not so surprisingly, Taylor’s studio albums—including Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, and Evermore—have earned *tens of millions of dollars* worldwide. Per the Recording Industry Association of America, an organization that sounds like it knows what it’s talking about, she has earned $137.5 million in digital singles and $51 million in album sales. Oh, and now seems like a good time to mention that Midnights sold more than 1 million copies in its FIRST. WEEK.

Some other fun facts for you?

Reputation was the best-selling album of 2017, reportedly making $1.9 million in just the first one and a half months.
Lover was the only album of 2019 to sell 1 million “pure” copies (physical and digital album sales).
Folklore was the first album to sell a million copies in 2020.
More than a million copies of Evermore sold in its First. Damn. Week.
Red (Taylor’s Version) was Tay’s 10th album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
She has two of bestselling vinyl albums IN THE WORLD.
Taylor made history when Midnights nabbed all top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 song list, becoming the first artist EVER to achieve the feat.

According to recent estimates published on CNN, Taylor’s Eras tour could gross $2.2 billion in just North American ticket sales, which would make it the highest grossing tour…ever. According to TIME, it’s also projected to “generate close to $5 billion in consumer spending.” In other words, the Eras tour is having a massive impact on the economy. Unclear what Taylor is taking home herself, but CBS said back in May that she could personally net $500 million or more. The Washington Post also estimated that Tay could earn upwards of $4.1 billion from the tour. Excuse me while I go cry in poor.

Meanwhile, Taylor’s Eras Tour concert film broke AMC records in its first day, bringing in a reported $26 million. It’s since earned $100 million in advance global ticket sales, and Variety reports that Tay and her team have pocketed $60 million of that. As of February 2024, the movie earned $261.6 million at the box office. HER POWER
