Global music sensation Taylor Swift, renowned for hits like “Lover” and “Cruel Summer,” is poised to rake in over $100 million from Spotify in 2023, with 26.1 billion streams registered since the year’s commencement, as reported by Variety.
Swift’s earnings through November alone have already reached approximately $104 million, and projections suggest she could surpass $130 million if her Grammy-winning streams maintain their upward trajectory through December.
Recently crowned as Spotify’s top global artist, Swift’s influence on the platform remains undeniable, with chart-topping songs like “Cruel Summer” and “Anti-Hero” and her album “Lover” securing a spot among the top 10 songs and albums globally for the year.
This financial triumph follows Swift’s billionaire status attainment earlier in the year, propelled by the success of her Eras Tour, contributing to a reported net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Bloomberg News analysis.
The Eras Tour, predicted to amass $4.1 billion, is on course to become the highest-grossing tour in history, according to the Washington Post. The frenzy surrounding ticket sales in November saw Swifties grappling with Ticketmaster’s website crash, resulting in resellers offering tickets for up to $22,000.
In addition to her Spotify and tour triumphs, Swift’s “Eras Tour” film, released in theaters on October 13, has proven to be a lucrative venture. With $80 million in advanced sales and global earnings surpassing $250 million within seven weeks, as per Variety, Swift continues to captivate audiences and set unprecedented milestones in the music industry.
