Taylor Swift earned $92 million in 2022, making her one of the top-paid entertainers in the world, according to Forbes. But that’s just a fraction of what she could take home in 2023.
Swift’s earnings in 2022 included sales from her album “Midnights,” released that year, plus royalties from previous albums. But Swift didn’t hit the concert circuit last year — and in case you haven’t heard the news, she embarked on a tour this year that could ultimately gross $1 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.
MarketWatch did an analysis of what Swift could earn this year, based on published reports and other information. Here’s how it breaks down. Back catalog: $65 million It’s been reported that 70% of Swift’s $92 million in earnings last year came from her back catalog, including streaming and album sales. That equates to $64.4 million. Of course, as they say on Wall Street, past performance is no guarantee of future results. But it’s hard to imagine at a time when Swift has become such a pop-culture juggernaut , that she’d earn any less in back-catalog sales. So, we’ll stick conservatively with the $64.4 million figure.
