According to Forbes confirmation on Monday, Swift, who reached billionaire status late last year, had a net worth increase as a result of her successful Eras Tour thereby making her the first female to enter the billionaire league, solely from her songs and music performances.

Her Eras Tour film was also a success, raking in over $261 million at the box office since its October 2023 premiere.
