Swift is worth $1.6 billion, according to Forbes estimates, making her the wealthiest female musician in the world. Swift joined the billionaire ranks in October 2023 amid the success of her $2 billion-grossing Eras Tour, and she became the first person to become a billionaire based solely on the value of her music catalog and concert tours.

Swift announced her new album The Life of a Showgirl on August 12, at 12:12 a.m. “So I wanted to show you something,” she said in a trailer of her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast New Heights. She pulls out a briefcase and a blurred-out vinyl of the album, and Kelce’s brother Jason yells in excitement.
