Taylor Swift Is Officially A Billionaire After Wildly Successful Eras Tour
Taylor Swift has been making headlines the past month due to her budding romance with NFL star Travis Kelce. She has been spotted attending his past four games, and it looks like she’s in full NFL girlfriend mode, sharing high fives with the wives of other players.
But today, she made headlines for a very different reason… HER BANK ACCOUNT!
According to a Bloomberg analysis, the 33-year-old pop star is officially a billionaire. They believe her net worth now sits at around $1.1 billion, thanks in large part to her record-breaking Eras tour that was so big it even helped boost the US economy over the summer.
She joins a rare list of entertainers to reach billionaire status based on just her music and performances. Unlike Rihanna, Diddy or even Kim Kardashian, she does not have any businesses or skin care brands.
The Eras tour could gross $2.2 billion in North American ticket sales alone, according to Augustsurvey data from research firm QuestionPro provided to CNN exclusively. That unprecedented total represents primary ticket sales for the US shows that Swift just concluded in Los Angeles, plus a second North American leg coming next year. That would make it the highest-grossing tour ever.
And the impressive stats don’t end there. She dipped her toes in the movie box office as well with her concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” which brought in a ridiculous $96 million during its opening weekend, making it the highest grossing concert film to ever be released in the U.S.
She is quickly becoming a legend in the music industry, or heck, really just a legend in the world.
The singer became a cultural phenomenon, adding to her economic influence. In cities where Swift performed, ridership on public transit spiked and hotel occupancy skyrocketed. Santa Clara, the tech-rich city located in Northern California, briefly became ‘Swiftie Clara.’ In Seattle, dancing Swifties caused seismic activity that one seismologist said was equal to a 2.3 magnitude earthquake.
How long before she runs for president?
