Billionaires

No she got it from touring mainly. What are you trying to suggest?
She re-recorded and re-released all her albums outside of the original record c deal she got, giving her the lions share of the revenue and kicking her previous record company in the nuts at the same time. Very clever. Wasn’t her idea mind, but that’s what got her in the rich list
 
Spotify didn't do her any harm with $131m earned from streaming, on top of being practically constantly in the charts with most of her releases.

She is actually a really good artist tbh, she can sing really well, knows her own worth and does a lot of good. She is also driving a lot of the vinyl revival, massively outselling every other artist consistently by a long way.

All true. Writes all her own songs too, which all adds to her earning power.

The latest tour is the biggie at the moment though, highest grossing tour ever. Well deserved I'd say, if you watch the concert on Disney Plus it's amazing that she can do over 3 hours singing live and dancing, and then do that night after night. Apparently trained for the tour by singing the whole set list repeatedly on a treadmill.

Does a lot of good with her money too and is generous with staff. She's given something like $50 million in bonuses for this tour alone. Books the best hotels for all staff as well.

I still love that she funded Nashville cat sanctuaries throughout the pandemic :)

Then there's stuff like this

I just wish she would come out and say that she hates trump.
They are sh.it scared that she will do it because they really think that she could end it all for them. she has that much influence.

Its such a shame that modern musicians and artists are conditioned to hide their politics for fear of losing a few quid from sponsors. I learned a lot about politics from reading interviews with my favourite bands in the 80s and 90s.

She's been pretty clear on that already, why do you think all the MAGA loons have it in for her?

I am probably wrong but I was under the impression that she encouraged people to vote etc without actually siding with anybody.
She hasnt actually encouraged to vote against Trump, has she? Like a twitter thingy or Instagram thingy?

MAGA loons are exactly that.

People who encourage others to vote are ALL anti Trump. As with the right in this country one of their tools is voter suppression. If the MAGA loons, famously dumb as they are, have worked out she's against them then it must be quite obvious!

She famously endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, I doubt her position has changed, especially after Trump sent his MAGA loons after her.
 
I was reading Taylor Swift is now a billionaire. She certainly didn't get that way from Spotify royalties.

I also note that #1 billionaire rich person Bernard Arnault (in reality it's Putin but nobody mentions that) reminds me of Mr Burns:

But she is not a billionaire in proper pounds sterling only in foreign money I am a billionaire in Zimbabwe in fact I have a $10 trillion dollar note.

Not my cup of tea, but there's a lot worse. Managed to get better than the standard spotify deal for herself, I guess that's capitalism though, no swift and spotfiy would lose tens millions of middle of the road 15-25 year old female subscribers.

Pretty much half her fan base is male and given how long she's been performing, cuts against a lot more age range than 15-25

On record store day most people in the queue ahead of me were getting a copy of folklore

Yep, have followed her since her country days in 2006. It's madness to say her fans are in that age range mainly.
