    WOWW!!! Taylor Swift has now reached billionaire status thanks to her showstopping Eras Tour — see how the pop star makes and spends her fortune…

    Taylor Swift never fails to impress.

    At 15 years old, she was the youngest songwriter to ever sign with Sony. She now has 14 Grammys on her shelf — including four for album of the year, the most of any artist in history — several tours under her belt, 10 studio albums, a long list of chart-topping songs, and a beloved fan base who dub themselves “Swifties.”

    Such success makes Swift one of the world’s highest-paid celebrities and one of the richest female singers. According to a Bloomberg News analysis published on the eve of her “1989” album rerelease, Swift has officially built a billion-dollar empire.

    Forbes recently confirmed her $1.1 billion net worth, citing in part her massive ongoing Eras Tour and its subsequent concert movie.

    Swift has been strategic and generous with her money, investing in a sprawling $84 million real-estate portfolio and often donating to causes she supports.

    See how Swift earns and spends her fortune below.

    AdvertisementTaylor Swift currently has an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion.

    According to Forbes, which published a series of 2024 billionaire reports on Tuesday, Swift is the first musician to reach 10-figure status solely based on songwriting and performing (rather than brand deals or business ventures).

    Swift’s vast fortune is primarily thanks to her valuable discography and earnings from streaming deals, music sales, concert tickets, and merchandise.

    Representatives for Swift did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment regarding the Forbes report.

    The pop star’s record-breaking Eras Tour, which began in March 2023, propelled the singer to billionaire status.

    Swift’s five-continent Eras Tour has been nothing short of a sensation. It’s the first tour ever to gross over $1 billion in revenue and is on track to become the highest-grossing tour of all time.

    In October 2023, after Swift toured 56 dates across the US and Mexico, The Eras Tour had already generated $780 million and added $4.3 billion to America’s gross domestic product, according to Bloomberg Economics.

    She has since made stops in Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Australia, and Singapore, with plans to continue in Europe and North America throughout 2024 following the release of her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

    The movie version of the tour broke box-office records before it was even released. It grossed more than $261 million worldwide.

    Worldwide ticket presales had already exceeded $100 million before the film was released (a day early) on October 12, 2023, AMC Theatres reported.

    According to ticketing service Fandango, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” set a new record for the highest first-day ticket sales in 2023. It has also become the highest-grossing concert movie of all time, surpassing “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.”

    Swift, who bypassed movie studios to personally fund the concert movie, will receive half of the box office earnings for the film, which grossed $261 million worldwide.

    Swift cashed in on her blockbuster Eras Tour movie again by selling the streaming rights to Disney for more than $75 million.

    Once “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” had left theaters, Swift struck a deal with Disney+ to release the film’s extended version on streaming.

    According to Puck News, Disney paid upwards of $75 million for the exclusive rights.

    Citing anonymous sources, the outlet reported that Disney’s Bob Iger outbid Netflix and Universal Pictures (which handled VOD distribution for the film in December) for the streaming rights by offering the huge sum, which the other two streamers couldn’t match.

    Swift has endorsement deals and partnerships with high-profile brands.

    These partnerships include Capital One, AT&T, Stella McCartney, Elizabeth Arden perfumes, American Express, Keds, Diet Coke, Walmart, and Apple.

    But touring has long been Swift’s biggest money maker. The 1989 World Tour grossed more than $250 million in 2015.

    That figure is according to the Los Angeles Times.

    She earned even more during her Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018.

    At the time, the Reputation Stadium Tour broke the record for the highest-grossing US tour ever, according to Billboard. Swift earned an average of $7 million per show, more than double the US per-concert average during the “1989” tour.

    But her tours don’t just bring in ticket sales. Swift also makes a huge sum of money from merch.

    Last April, Forbes estimated that Swift’s coveted on-site merchandise — which she sells at an average price of $80 —could add an estimated $87 million in proceeds to her fortune.

    Swift amassed an estimated $230 million in record sales following the release of her 2022 album “Midnights.”

    According to The Guardian, Swift’s massive album sales for “Midnights” brought in $230 million for Swift’s label Universal.

    With more than 1.5 million equivalent album units earned in the US in its first week, “Midnights” landed the biggest week for an album in seven years (since Swift’s own album “Reputation”).

    Swift made $52 million in 2021 after rerecording earlier work that was acquired (and then sold) by Scooter Braun.

    Swift embarked on a mission to rerecord her first six albums after Scooter Braun, whom she accused of “incessant, manipulative bullying,” purchased the legal rights to her back catalog in 2019. (He later sold the master recordings to a private-equity company.)

    She released the first installment in the series, “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” in 2021. It debuted atop the Billboard 200 — indicating this would be a lucrative venture for Swift. Later that year, Swift’s new version of “Red” became one of the year’s top-selling albums.

    The two rerecorded albums helped plant Swift on the “The Highest-Paid Entertainers 2022” report from Forbes.

    She has since released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version).” The latter sold over 1.6 million copies in its first week — surpassing the original and becoming Swift’s biggest debut total to date.

    Swift has amassed an impressive fortune — and she knows how to spend it. Her real-estate portfolio is worth a reported $150 million.

    It consists of eight properties in four different states.

    In Nashville, she owns a 3,240-square-foot condo worth an estimated $3 million and a 5,600-square-foot Greek Revival estate worth an estimated $2.5 million.

    The latter is the cheapest property she owns.

    In LA, Swift owns a 10,982-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion worth nearly $30 million.

    In 2017, she was trying to turn it into a historic landmark, according to Teen Vogue.

    Across the coast, Swift owns an estate with seaside views in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, for which she reportedly paid $17.75 million.

    With 12,000 square feet, it has plenty of room for parties and even inspired her song “The Last Great American Dynasty.”

    But that’s nothing compared to the estimated $40 million worth of property Swift owns in New York City on the same block in Tribeca.

    That includes an 8,309-square-foot duplex penthouse and a four-story townhouse.

    She used to rent an apartment on Cornelia Street — the famous inspiration behind her “Lover” track “Cornelia Street” — which was listed in 2023 with a $17.9 million price tag.

    Swift needs a way to travel among all these homes. She reportedly owns a Dassault private jet.

    The Dassault 7X is registered to Island Jet Inc., a holding company listed under the same address as Taylor Swift Productions, Business Insider previously reported.

    She used to have two private jets, but quietly sold one amid criticism of her carbon footprint. (“Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals,” a rep for Swift said in a statement. “To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.”)

    There’s no word on how much she paid for these vehicles, but a brand new Dassault 900 has a list price of $44 million, according to Business Jet Traveler. Elon Musk owns a similar model that cost about $26 million.

    Swift often spends money dining out with her friends and romantic partners, especially when in New York City.

    In the past, she’s been spotted at The Fat Radish, The Spotted Pig, Sarabeth’s, L’Asso, Nobu, and Vita Carota.

    But Swift has always been generous with her money, supporting causes and helping those in need.

    On her 24th birthday, she donated $100,000 to the Nashville Symphony, according to People.

    Swift pledged $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame to fund an education center.

    Her commitment to education doesn’t stop with music; Swift also donated $50,000 to NYC public schools, People reported.

    She has provided support during natural disasters, donating $1 million to the victims of Louisiana floods and $500,000 to Nashville flood relief.

    Swift also raised $750,000 through a Speak Now Help Now benefit concert for victims of tornadoes in the southern US in 2011, according to People.

    AdvertisementIn 2020, Swift gave $50,000 to a mother of five who lost her husband to COVID-19 days before Christmas.ade the donation, according to USA Today.

    She also gifted $13,000 each to two moms who were also struggling financially because of the pandemic.

    And then there are the two famous checks she wrote for $1,989 — an ode to her best-selling album — sent to two fans to pay a student loan and to donate to a dance marathon benefit.

    The checks were sent out in 2014, according to People.

    More recently, she has been donating to food banks across America that coincide with her Eras Tour route.

    Throughout the first US leg of her Eras Tour, Swift habitually made large donations to local food pantries.

    She has also been known to support LGBTQ+ organizations and victims of gun violence in recent years.

    She also helps out her fellow pop stars. She gave Kesha $250,000 to help with legal fees during her lawsuit against Dr. Luke.

    For several years, Kesha was embroiled in a defamation lawsuit after she accused the music producer Dr. Luke, her former mentor, of “unrelenting abuse” and rape. (They reached a settlement in 2023.)

    The “Rainbow” singer revealed Swift’s donation during an interview with Rolling Stone in 2017.

    Kesha described Swift as “a fucking sweetheart. Very, very sweet, very, very genuine, extremely generous, picks up the phone every time I call her. My mom doesn’t even always pick up the phone!”

    Swift has proven herself to be incredibly savvy with investments.

    In 2022, Swift pulled out of a $100 million sponsorship deal with Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX after she questioned the company if it was selling “unregistered securities.”

    LeBron James recently revealed a new colorway of his upcoming Nike LeBron 21. The colorway pays homage to one of his favorite musicians, the late great Prince. James shared a photo of the shoe on Instagram, labeling it with lines from one of Prince’s most famous songs, “Purple Rain.” The shoe is coated in purple tones similar to those worn by Prince. The Nike swoosh is accentuated in gold, as are the piece’s other accents. This colorway also features a strong representation of the Lakers’ colors, making it a noteworthy release. And for James, this release has a lot of significance.

    Prince died on April 21, 2016, from an accidental Fentanyl overdose. To pay tribute to the legacy, James once stated, “I just think we’re losing a lot of our heroes a lot sooner than expected.” He was unique as an artist and for what he did for music and people’s lives, such as my mother and those who grew up during that time period. My condolences go out to his entire family, and it’s a tragic scenario to see someone so gifted leave so soon.”

    During a Cleveland Cavaliers Halloween party, LeBron James dressed up as Prince and performed Purple Rain. He took the stage while dressed in Prince’s distinctive style and brandishing an electric guitar. This Nike release has to be one of the most significant to date. Last week, while working out with his youngest son, Bryce Maximus, James teased his Nike LeBron 21s. The shoe is set to be released later this year.

  • NBA Pundits: Three Big Reasons Why Celtics Will Come Up Short Of NBA Title

    NBA Pundits: Three Big Reasons Why Celtics Will Come Up Short Of NBA Title

    It’s time to spoil Boston Celtics fans’ fun before the postseason even starts.

    Are the Celtics set to collapse in the NBA playoffs again? - SBNation.com

    In related news, don’t count on the Celtics to throw a parade through Boston’s streets this summer.

    The Celtics are the overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Finals after their outstanding regular season. They also have almost everything going for them. Boston boasts a star-studded roster with a large supporting cast to help fill in the blanks. With possibly their biggest opponent coping with an injury to one of its key players, the Eastern Conference’s path to the Finals is also clear for them.

    Although it seemed inevitable that the Celtics will win the NBA championship, that isn’t actually the case. The Celtics still have a lot of opportunities to lose this postseason.

    Keys to Banner 18: it is time for the Celtics to get back to winning home  playoff games again - CelticsBlog

    And for the following three main reasons, the Celtics’ quest for Banner 18 will end in failure:

    Late-game incompetence

    Boston left a lot to be desired in terms of their game-ending performance. Does anyone really think that Joe Mazzulla or Jayson Tatum will make the perfect play in the closing seconds?

    During the regular season, the Celtics struggled with a stagnating offense with Tatum simply dribbling the ball into the floor in the closing minutes of games. Boston, which finished 13-11 this season in games decided by six points or less, appears to focus more on isolations than on its amazing ball movement, an issue that is prevalent in the NBA.

    Tatum has also not fared well in certain circumstances. It seems as though he hasn’t made a game-winning basket since defeating the Brooklyn Nets a few postseasons ago by making a layup at the buzzer. Since then, he’s had many more opportunities that have merely fallen flat.

    The pressure in the playoffs will increase exponentially at game’s finish. During these thrilling finishes, execution must be nearly flawless, and the Celtics have demonstrated that they become overly eager and frequently crumble under such strain.

    Turnover defect

    The Celtics’ two most recent postseason runs have been wrecked by turnovers, which come at the worst possible time for Boston. The Celtics committed 23 turnovers when the Golden State Warriors finished the Finals on the parquet floor in 2022, and Jaylen Brown had eight turnovers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals the previous year.

    The Celtics’ record at home during the previous two postseasons has been 11-12 in part because of their turnover rate.

    Without a doubt, Brown and Tatum are the main offenders. While Tatum became the first player in NBA history to commit 100 mistakes in a single postseason in 2022, Brown—who has struggled with a hand injury this season—had a team-high 3.3 turnovers per game during the playoffs last year.

    The playbook for defending Brown and Tatum is clear to opposing defenses: get up on them and ruin their life. Although the famous pair has reduced their turnovers per game this season, they have not improved their ball handling sufficiently, particularly in light of the NBA’s recent changes that let defenders to be more aggressive.

    It makes sense that the Celtics frequently want to get the ball into the hands of Brown and Tatum. They are the two top players on the team and have a wide range of scoring options. But the Celtics will have difficulties if they haven’t entirely resolved their ball-handling troubles.

    The biggest star in the NBA is the most visible.

    Sometimes, a team’s only option is to tip its hat to the top player on the floor. If the Celtics face the Denver Nuggets in the Finals, there is a scenario that could come to pass.

    Tatum and Brown are not on the same level as Nikola Jokic. The two-time MVP ate up Kristaps Porzingis near the rim with a gorgeous variety of post moves in their two regular-season encounters, and the Celtics have no answer for him. Are we certain Porzingis can even survive the grueling postseason grind in good health? The idea that Luke Kornet or even Al Horford would have to try to protect Jokic is unsettling.

    In Denver’s two victories over the Celtics, Jokic averaged 33 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists while shooting 60.1% from the floor. This is probably what he’ll do in the Finals.

    NBA: Only a championship will make season complete for Celtics

    Nobody else compares to Jokic. He’s an incredible individual talent who makes those around him feel better. He also possesses championship mettle. Even against a team as talented as Boston, trying to defeat him when he understands what it takes to win a championship is an extremely difficult challenge. Thus, Celtics, good luck with that.

    Correction: screaмing!

    It’s υnclear why Taylor and Travis didn’t show υp at Coachella (<eм>Page Six</eм> reports they skipped it, bυt мaybe they went after dinner?), bυt a soυrce previoυsly told <eм>Us Weekly</eм> that “They both want to see Lana Del Rey and Bleachers.” Lana perforмed last night, and it was, to pυt it siмply, incredible.

    Meanwhile, <eм>Page Six</eм> notes that Taylor and Travis are “expected to мake it to the festival at soмe point,” and according to the <eм>Daily Mail</eм>, they’ll post υp at a “мeмbers-only” spot, which a soυrce said is “perfect for theм becaυse not jυst anyone can stay there.”

    “They don’t want a ton of eyes on theм; they want to be able to let their gυard down and be coмfortable,” the soυrce added.

    As a reмinder, Taylor has a coυple мore weeks off before The Eras Toυr starts again in Eυrope. Travis is expected to join her dυring several toυr dates, so stay tυned for “Karмa is a gυy on the Chiefs” мoмents, etc. Meanwhile, reмinder that <eм>The Tortυred Poets Departмent </eм>drops on April 19 and fans already have a gazillion theories aboυt what the songs мean, so head here to lose several hoυrs of yoυr life (in a good way) to wild specυlation:

  • OMG!!! Calvin Harris’ Wife Vick Hope Confesses She Listens to Taylor Swift’s Music ‘as Soon as My Husband Goes Away’

    OMG!!! Calvin Harris’ Wife Vick Hope Confesses She Listens to Taylor Swift’s Music ‘as Soon as My Husband Goes Away’

    Calvin Harris and wife Vick Hope

    She made the confession during a recent episode of her BBC Radio 1 show.

    Calvin Harris’ wife, Vick Hope, is a secret Swiftie!

    On Monday, the 34-year-old British media host admitted during an episode of her BBC 1 Radio show, Going Home With Vick, Katie and Jamie, that when it comes to playing Taylor Swift’s music, she waits until her husband is out of the house, given his romantic history with the “Lavender Haze” singer, 34.

    Swift and Harris, 40, dated for over a year from 2015 to 2016. The “This Is What You Came For” hitmaker ultimately tied the knot with Hope in September 2023 in an intimate ceremony at Hulne Priory in Northumberland, England.

    During the episode, Hope and her fellow co-hosts were discussing what they like to do when their significant others are away, which is when she made the confession about her listening habits when her Scottish DJ husband is gone.

    “As soon as my husband goes away, I listen to Taylor Swift,” Hope told Katie Thistleton and Jamie Laing“That’s just when I get my little fill — just a little fill. Just a couple of songs, get it out of my system and then it’s done.”

    The admission comes on the heels of the DJ and radio host brushing elbows with Swift at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards in February. An insider told ET that Harris — whose real name is Adam Wiles — supported the “You Belong With Me” crooner who was nominated for six awards. The source said the newlyweds looked happy and relaxed at their table and even clapped for Swift.

    It’s not surprising as the pair appear to have kept in touch and stayed friendly following their breakup in March 2016. Around that time, Harris gave his ex credit for helping to write his song with Rihanna, “This Is What You Come For.” Swift was credited under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg.

    He later took to social media platform X — formerly Twitter — to comment on Swift quietly contributing to the track, saying it was her idea to fly under the radar using a very Swedish moniker.

    “And she sings on a little bit of it too. Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual,” Harris shared at the time. “I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym.”

    As for Harris’ relationship with Hope, they were first romantically linked by The Sun in January 2022 when a source shared they had been dating for several months.

    “She has been talking to her friends about him but has wanted to keep it quiet until now. Those who know them think they make a lovely couple,” the outlet reported at the time.

    The pair had previously met in 2007 and she said she rejected his advances. In a January 2023 interview with You Magazine, Hope said that back when Harris produced “Acceptable in the 80s,” she told him she was not interested in going out on a date.

    “It’s something that we laughed about on our first proper date. We still laugh about it now,” she said.

    It’s a good thing he gave it another go, however, as they have now been happily married for seven months.

    Travis Kelce’s niece is a Swiftie, and appears to ship Traylor wholeheartedly.

    In a wholesome TikTok posted by Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie, on Monday, their four-year-old daughter, Wyatt, familiarized herself with her dad’s team, the Philadelphia Eagles, play against the Los Angeles Rams.

     

    “Just another swiftie tryna [sic] learn football, or a kid tryna avoid a nap. Who Knows?” the NFL wife jokingly captioned the pictures, shouting out her husband’s team with a “#GoBirds”…

     

    As the sharp-witted repeatedly asked “who’s that,” pointing to the screen when a player would pop up, Kylie obligingly answered, further explaining their roles.

    The caption referred to the phenomenon following pop sensation Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce’s budding romance, whereby Taylor’s devoted fanbase, who call themselves “Swifties”, started studying up on the NFL.

    Moreover, as Swift took a breather from her ongoing record-breaking Eras Tour and attended multiple of her new admirer’s football games over the past few weeks, the league’s viewership drew in a huge female viewership, per Page Six.

    Now, if her dad being in the NFL wasn’t already enough to pique her interest in football, the blossoming romance between her uncle and her favourite musician seemed to have done the job.
