Entertainment News Update: Taylor Swift Soars to 5th Place as Forbes Declares Her World’s Most Dominant Female Musician
Forbes has unveiled its latest rankings, positioning Taylor Swift as the world’s most influential female musician, securing the fifth spot among the most powerful women globally.
In a feature story, Forbes highlighted the economic, cultural, and political influence propelling Swift from the 79th to the 5th most powerful woman this year, marking a remarkable ascent in her 17-year career.
Swift’s unprecedented achievement includes being not just the top-ranking musician but also one of the rare artists to attain billionaire status through music alone.
Forbes credited Swift’s Eras tour success in 2023, surpassing Beyonce’s concurrent tour, as evidence of her dominance in the music industry.
The tour’s record-breaking earnings contributed to Swift becoming a billionaire in October, joining elite company alongside Jay-Z and Rihanna.
The Eras tour, a three-and-a-half-hour retrospective of Swift’s career, grossed nearly $850 million during 66 U.S. shows. The European and Asian legs scheduled for next year are poised to further boost her net worth to $1.1 billion.
While European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen claimed the top spot as the most powerful woman in 2023, Swift’s unprecedented rise solidifies her status as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment world.
In a diverse lineup, Beyoncé secured the 36th spot for her entrepreneurial ventures, while Rihanna, positioned at 74, was lauded for her fashion empire and philanthropic efforts, adding more depth to Forbes’ list of influential women shaping the world.
