Taylor Swift after Midnights release becomes highest-paid singer

According to a recent Forbes estimate, Taylor Swift earned an astounding $92 million in 2022, making her the most-paid female entertainer in the world.

Swift, 33, is the only female among the top 10 earners in the entertainment industry. Behind Tyler Perry, Brad Pitt, the Rolling Stones, and other Hollywood celebrities, she has landed the ninth slot on the list.

Swift made history by becoming the first musician to have ten songs in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 with the enormous success of her tenth studio album Midnights, which was released in October 2022.

According to the report, Swift derived the majority of her $92 million in revenues from the music she had previously recorded.

Swift's prior library, which includes royalties from album sales and streaming, provided an estimated 70% of her income.

Swift's All Too Well: The Short Film received the 2023 Grammy Award for best music video.
