    Taylor Swift is set to earn over $100M in streaming revenue from Spotify alone in 2023… just weeks after reaching billionaire status

    Taylor Swift is set to earn over $100 million just from Spotify streams alone in 2023.

     

    Since her music was streamed 26.1 billion times as revealed by Spotify Wrapped, the 33-year-old singer is estimated to be making close to $130 million by the end of the year.

    According to the estimated average of $0.0035 per stream as reported by Variety, she will earn about $91.35 million through November alone from the digital music service.

    After being crowned the most listened to artist globally on Spotify, this is another monumental feat that she will have accomplished this year.

    Just weeks earlier, she officially reached billionaire status as reported by a Bloomberg News analysis released in October.

    Since her music was streamed 26.1 billion times as revealed by Spotify Wrapped, the 33-year-old singer is estimated to be making close to $130 million by the end of the year

    Earlier this week on Wednesday, Spotify Wrapped revealed that the 12-time Grammy winner is the top artist on the platform worldwide.

    Runner-ups include Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, Drake, and Peso Pluma.

    Her hit singles Cruel Summer and Anti-Hero also made the list of top 10 songs listened to globally.

    Her seventh studio album, Lover — which was released in 2019 — ranked as number seven on the top listened list for the year.

    This comes shortly after it was revealed that Swift has reached a net worth of $1.1 billion since rereleasing her music catalogue and embarking on her epic Eras Tour — which is on track to becoming the highest grossing tour in history.

    According to the Washington Post, Swift stands to make as much as an estimated $4.1 billion from her world tour.

    In addition to her tour and Spotify revenue, she will also be raking in hundred of millions of dollars from her Eras Tour film.

    The Blank Space hitmaker’s movie premiered in theaters on October 13.

    Just weeks earlier, she officially reached billionaire status since rereleasing her music catalogue and embarking on her epic Eras Tour — which is on track to becoming the highest grossing tour in history

    Aside from her tour and Spotify revenue, Swift will also earn over $300 million from her Eras Tour film

    Variety reported that the film earned $80 million in advanced sales as well as grossed more than $250 million globally in the past seven weeks.

    Alongside her career and finances, her personal life is also thriving as her romance with NFL player Travis Kelce heats up.

    She had been enjoying a cozy staycation at the Kansas City Chiefs player’s $6 million mansion in Missouri amid rumors that she secretly married her ex, Joe Alwyn, three years ago.

    She will also reportedly be in attendance at Arrowhead Stadium to support her beau at his upcoming game on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

  • Boston Celtics rookie Jordan Walsh got his first taste of non-garbage time minutes: “They were already up 30 in the first, so obviously that took some of the load off, but it’s definitely a different feeling,”

    Boston Celtics rookie Jordan Walsh got his first taste of non-garbage time minutes: “They were already up 30 in the first, so obviously that took some of the load off, but it’s definitely a different feeling,”

    Boston Celtics rookie Jordan Walsh had his first significant NBA playing time on February 14 against the Brooklyn Nets, entering the game during the first quarter of a commanding victory for the Celtics.

    Despite the team’s substantial lead when he checked in, Walsh logged a total of 18 minutes on the court, contributing five rebounds, a steal, and a block while posting a +8 box score plus-minus.

    Reflecting on his experience, Walsh acknowledged the noticeable difference in physicality compared to previous appearances, emphasizing the level of intensity and the tactics employed by opponents to disrupt rhythm. He highlighted the challenges posed by opponents’ attempts to unsettle him and the need for resilience in the face of heightened physicality and pace.

    “They were already up 30 in the first, so obviously that took some of the load off, but it’s definitely a different feeling,” Walsh said. “The physicality … is on another level. It could just be small, sneaky stuff that refs don’t see, that maybe you all don’t see and maybe we don’t see, but you’ll feel it.

    Walsh’s opportunity for increased playing time arose due to the absence of Jaylen Brown, who was sidelined with a shoulder injury. Brown’s injury, while not severe, allowed Walsh to step into a more significant role within the team. However, it’s unlikely that Walsh will feature prominently in the Celtics’ playoff rotations, as his playing time may diminish once Brown returns to full health.

    Looking ahead, Brown’s participation in the NBA Slam Dunk competition during All-Star weekend suggests that his injury is not significant enough to keep him out of high-profile events. As the first Celtics player to participate in the dunk contest since 2018, Brown may incorporate teammates into his performance, fostering camaraderie and team spirit within the Celtics roster.

    Overall, while Walsh’s emergence provides a glimpse of his potential contribution to the Celtics, his role is likely to be limited as the team prioritizes established players during crucial playoff matchups.

    As the NBA All-Star break unfolds, Boston Celtics’ standout Jayson Tatum finds himself once again thrust into the MVP conversation for the second consecutive season, drawing vocal support from prominent NBA analysts.

    ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, renowned for his insightful basketball commentary, recently voiced his backing for Tatum during Thursday’s episode of “First Take.” Joining the chorus of support, Smith’s colleague Kendrick Perkins echoed similar sentiments in an interview with NBC Sports Boston’s Chris Forsberg.

    What Jayson Tatum said about his MVP chances

    “I’m voting for Jayson Tatum,” Perkins affirmed, emphasizing his criteria of acknowledging the best player with the best record. With the Celtics currently boasting the league’s best record at 43-12, Tatum’s pivotal role in their success cannot be understated.

    Perkins elaborated on Tatum’s contributions, highlighting his impressive statistical performance with an average of around 27 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, coupled with an outstanding two-point field goal percentage hovering around 55 percent.

    Jayson Tatum Wants To See Significant NBA Rule Change

    The Celtics’ dominance in the standings, holding a commanding six-game lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top seed in the Eastern Conference, further bolsters Tatum’s MVP candidacy in Perkins’ view.

    “If the Celtics finish with the number one seed overall, the best record in the league, which I believe they will,” Perkins asserted, “Tatum is getting my vote.”

    Despite his enduring connection to the Celtics organization, Perkins addressed the sometimes contentious relationship he has had with Boston fans in recent years, delivering a heartfelt message urging for mutual respect and understanding.

    “I love y’all Boston fans,” Perkins expressed passionately. “Look, stop trolling me, okay? You know where my heart is at. I love y’all.”

    As the MVP race intensifies heading into the latter half of the NBA season, Jayson Tatum’s stellar performance and the unwavering support from influential voices in the basketball community continue to solidify his status as a frontrunner for the league’s most prestigious individual honor.

  • Taylor Swift’s flying visit! Pop star jets out of Green Bay after less than six hours having seen boyfriend Travis Kelce lose for the FIRST TIME as Chiefs are beaten by the Green Bay Packers

    Taylor Swift’s flying visit! Pop star jets out of Green Bay after less than six hours having seen boyfriend Travis Kelce lose for the FIRST TIME as Chiefs are beaten by the Green Bay Packers

    The Kansas City Chiefs were beaten by the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night – ending Taylor Swift‘s perfect record while watching boyfriend Travis Kelce.

    Swift jetted into snowy Wisconsin to be in the stands at Lambeau Field as the defending Super Bowl champions traveled to Green Bay. But it proved a flying visit – the pop sensation’s plane was seen Wisconsin not long after the final play.

    Her trip to snowy Green Bay, where temperatures fell below freezing on Sunday night, lasted less than six hours.

    This was Swift’s fifth time in the stands supporting the Chiefs since her romance with Kelce went public.

    Kansas City was 4-0 across her first four matches, leading some fans to joke that she was the team’s new lucky charm. But the pop star’s perfect run was ended on Sunday.

    The Chiefs suffered their fourth defeat of the NFL season, falling to a 27-19 defeat by the Packers at Lambeau Field.

    But it was not without some late drama as Patrick Mahomes and Co sought to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on the final play.

    Kelce was at the heart of it – the tight end was among a scrum of players in the end zone as Mahomes threw a Hail Mary in search of the touchdown Kansas City needed to possibly tie the game.

    Replays appeared to show Kelce was pushed in the back by Packers defender Jonathan Owens – the husband of Simone Biles – but none of the officials felt it warranted a flag, meaning Green Bay’s victory was confirmed.

    The build-up to the game was dominated by the possible appearance of Swift in the stands and on Sunday afternnon, she was seen boarding a jet bound for Green Bay.

    Exclusive photos for DailyMail.com showed Brittany Mahomes – wife of Patrick – was seen hopping out of a black Lamborghini SUV and on to Swift’s Dassault Falcon 7x, minutes before the pop icon’s arrival at Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport.

    Swift arrived in a black GMC with her security team in tow. As she boarded the jet, her minders put up umbrellas to block any prying eyes.

    Before long, the pop sensation walked into Lambeau Field alongside Mahomes. The pair embraced before going their separate ways.

    Swift was sporting the Chiefs’ colors – wearing a red overcoat – while Brittany’s red letterman’s jacket had her husband’s No. 15 emblazoned on it.

    The duo were later reunited in a suite at Lambeau Field, where they watched the Packers secure their fourth victory in five matches.

    Kelce amassed 81 yards from four receptions – his fourth best return of the season.  But the defending Super Bowl champions have now fallen behind three other teams in the race for the AFC’s top playoff seed.

    The Chiefs started slowly for a second straight week before falling to their third defeat in five games.

  • Lamar Odom gives Travis Kelce advice on how to maintain his relationship with Taylor Swift

    Lamar Odom gives Travis Kelce advice on how to maintain his relationship with Taylor Swift

    Lamar Odom is offering some advice to Travis Kelce about prioritizing his relationship with Taylor Swift amid the ongoing media attention.

     

    The 44-year-old retired NBA player dealt with a similar situation in the late 2000s when he started dating Khloé Kardashian. Odom, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers at the time, made headlines for his romance with Kardashian and his appearances on her show, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” The two married in 2009 and were featured in their own spinoff series, “Khloé and Lamar,” which ran for two seasons.

    Odom and Kardashian finalized their divorce in 2016, People reported, but he has continued to discuss their past connection and his current relationship with her family over the years. So, learning from his experience, the former athlete gave an insightful answer when asked recently if he had any tips for Kelce about dating Swift.

    “My advice would be to be strong and stay by her and be as close to her as possible,” Odom said in an interview with The Messenger. “There are going to be millions of women that want to taste what Taylor Swift is tasting and it can be overwhelming because we’re men.”

    The retired Laker added, “He just has to be strong and stick by his girl and he’ll be alright.”

    He also shared an update about his relationship with members of the Kardashian family. He recently showed support for Caitlyn Jenner last month when she was honored at the Spirit of Lincoln Gala at the Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley, Calif.

    “Once you’re family, you’re always family to me,” he said, explaining his attendance at the event. “I will never turn my back on my family. You’re always going to go through hard times but hard times are just times you’re going to get through and learn from.”

    Odom is the latest athlete to weigh in on Kelce and Swift’s relationship. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes —Kelce’s teammate and close friend — commented on their connection and constant media attention during an “NFL Live” interview Nov. 17.

    He told reporter Jeff Darlington that the recent news coverage the team is receiving is similar to the spotlight on the Chiefs after they won their second Super Bowl earlier this year.

    “I don’t think it feels any different. People see the whole Taylor Swift and Travis (thing) and they make it a huge deal because it is a huge deal. I think it becomes a bigger deal to the fan bases than it does to the guys who are actually in the building,” Mahomes explained.

    He continued, “I’ve been lucky enough to meet Taylor and see how good of a person she is. I think you understand why it’s not become a distraction or anything like that because everybody cares about being the best they can be every day.”

    Recently, the “Karma” singer has been busy wrapping up the final 2023 concert dates for her “Eras Tour,” meaning she couldn’t attend some of the Chiefs’ recent games. However, now that her tour has ended for the year, Swifties are waiting to see if pop icon stops by the Chiefs’ game against the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 3 to cheer on the tight end and his team.

  • ” LOve Birds” Travis Kelce opened up about engagement plan with Taylor Swift

    ” LOve Birds” Travis Kelce opened up about engagement plan with Taylor Swift

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce “could be talking about engagement rings” as the couple’s committed relationship continues to blossom.

    Back in September, it emerged that Taylor, 33, was dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis, 34. The couple’s budding romance came months after Travis expressed his interest in the hitmaker after attending her Eras Tour in Kansas, but failing to give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.

    But the pair seemingly got in contact with one another, with them then striking up a connection and deciding to date. Since this, the couple have stepped out in New York City on several occasions, sometimes hand-in-hand, with Travis even flying to Argentina to watch his girlfriend on-stage before she ran off the stage, flung her arms around him, and kissed him in front of her fans.

    But as Taylor continues to tour ahead of her 34th birthday, and Travis prepares for a string of American football games, we’ve asked an expert to take a look into the couple’s future in the run-up to Christmas.

    Inbaal Honigman, celebrity psychic and body language expert, has carried out a Tarot reading for the famous couple, with her revealing that they are both incredibly busy over the next few weeks – but also adding that despite their conflicting schedules, a big commitment could be on the cards.

    “Over the next few weeks, Taylor is very busy and Travis is very busy,” Inbaal exclusively revealed to The Mirror. She added: “The superstar has many engagements ahead, says the Major Arcana Tarot card called the Magician. Taylor has a lot on her plate and for much of that time, she won’t be able to see her beau for more than a day or two, and she can accept that.

    “Same goes for the top athlete. He’s committed on several fronts, says the Princess of Disks card, so between family commitments, work and promotions, he’ll be swamped too.”

    Inbaal then spoke of how they have both been making “symbolic gestures to feel more together even when they’re apart”, adding that they’re also “deciding on things to invest in, together”, as per the 10 of Disks Tarot card.

    “It [the card] speaks of financial plans, so they may be talking about purchasing a property together, or even a vehicle that will make it easier for them to see one another. They could be talking about engagement rings.

    “These cards show that Taylor is the one who feels far away and isolated, and therefore Travis, despite being very busy himself, will be the one to make the sacrifices in her favour,” Inbaal concluded.

    As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship continues, the NFL star’s sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, is showing support for the singer on social media.

    Fans noticed the public backing from Kylie, 31, on Instagram when the mother-of-three “liked” a post from Today regarding the pop icon’s publicist calling out rumors about Swift’s previous relationship.

    Last week, Swift’s publicist Tree Paine slammed DeuxMoi, an anonymous Instagram account that shares unconfirmed celebrity gossip, and shut down the account’s claims that the pop icon, 33, had a “marriage ceremony” with her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn sometime between 2020 and 2021.

    “Enough is enough with these fabricated lies about Taylor from Deuxmoi. There was NEVER a marriage or ceremony of ANY kind. This is an insane thing to post,” Paine wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

    “It’s time for you to be held accountable for the pain and trauma you cause with posts like these.”

    And after Kylie showed her support for Paine’s post with the Instagram like, Swift’s fans were appreciative.

    One account on social media wrote, “Kylie really be out here supporting Taylor publicly you love to see it.”

    “Kylie is a queen,” another wrote, while a third reply to the post called Kylie “a real one” for her support.

    Kylie, who married Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce in 2018, has become a subject of much interest on the internet and amongst sports fans in the last year.

    Jason, 36, and Kylie share three daughters — Bennett, 8 months, Elliotte, 2, and Wyatt, 3,

    Now as her brother-in-law Travis continues his relationship with Swift, Kylie has opened up about being uncomfortable in the spotlight.

    “It’s not particularly my cup of tea to be in the spotlight or in front of a camera,” she told local outlet Spectrum Sports KC while hosting a kids’ field hockey clinic in Kansas City.

    She shared that she “was a communication major in college,” so her comfort lies more on the other side of the camera. “I love to be behind it. That’s my bread and butter,” Kylie added.

    Her preference for blending in with the crowd is true at Jason’s games, too. Rather than opting for the spotlight of the luxury boxes, “I’m a stands girl,” Kylie shared. “I love sitting in the stands, cheering with the fans, even if it’s in an opposing team stadium.”

    The Philadelphia native also spoke to Spectrum Sports KC about her reaction to Jason being one of the Men of the Year in PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, a title that he’s widely joked about online and on his podcast.

    “I mean I knew this, I’ve known this the whole time. This is not news to me,” Kylie said of her husband’s 𝑠e𝑥 appeal.

    “But it’s funny to see those things sort of rolling in because at the end of the day, he’s still tucking in toddlers at the end of the night and getting called in for kid duty.”

  • Why Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is ‘Moving So Quickly’: ‘It All Feels Very Special’

    Why Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is ‘Moving So Quickly’: ‘It All Feels Very Special’

     

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce went “all in” very fast on their two-month-old public romance, with Kelce traveling over 11,000 miles this weekend to see Swift in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before returning to Kansas City, Missouri in time for practice today.

    Sources spoke to People and The Messenger about how Kelce and Swift’s connection took even them by surprise. They also shared how smitten Swift is with Kelce and the new group of friends, fellow partners of the Kansas City Chiefs players, that she has made through him.

    During Swift’s tour break, she “loved catching up with girlfriends [and] had fun spending time with Travis,” a source told People.

    “He is a gentleman,” the source said of Kelce. “He is very focused on his career. He has a great relationship with his family. He has an amazing energy and approach to life. It all feels very special.”

    A source echoed Swift’s admiration of Kelce to The Messenger, who described their relationship as already serious.

    “Neither of them expected them to move quickly, but they have been inseparable since they first connected,” that source said. “They see each other as much as they can during this busy season.”

    “When they are not together, they are constantly FaceTiming and texting,” the source continued. “Friends around them think it is very cute and they are a great match. Taylor is having a lot of fun with the wives and girlfriends in the league. Brittany Mahomes has welcomed her with open arms and has really been the ring leader merging Taylor, her friends and the girl groups together.”

    The source added, “It is a new era for Taylor and she is loving this season of her life. It is very different from her normal group of friends, but they have all been having a great time going to the games and bonding together. Taylor has really had an open mind to this new world, and the girls think she’s really enjoyable to be around.”

    Another source told The Messenger that Swift and Kelce are planning to spend the holidays with each other’s families, another indicator of how serious things have already become.

    They are hoping they will make time for each other during the holidays in December,” the source said. “They have talked about holiday plans and how everything will work during their busy season. Travis and Taylor have plans in December to be with each other’s families for the holidays.”
