Taylor Swift fans are swept up in the romance of their pop idol’s impending wedding to Kansas City Chiefs legend Travis Kelce, but it’s fair to say that for most fans the fascination lies in the fairy-tale aspect of the famous couple’s love affair â not the financial piece.
Details of the Swift-Kelce wedding plans have been emerging at a rapid pace over the past few weeks, though it should be noted that none have been officially confirmed by either the singer or her NFL future Hall of Fame husband-to-be.
Nonetheless, reports in the media have repeatedly put the most likely date for the big day as June 13, with a guest list to include such Swift posse members as Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid, while Kelce’s brother Jason â a former center for the Philadelphia Eagles and co-host of the brothers’ New Heights podcast â will reportedly serve as best man.
When Swift finally holds her wedding to Kelce sometime later this year, however, one reality can’t be avoided. The couple will combine to be one of the wealthiest husband-and-wife teams in the entertainment world. According to the latest available estimates from Bloomberg, Swiftâs personal net worth now tops approximately $2.1 billion, and Kelceâs estimated net worth is in the tens of millions, meaning together they will sit comfortably in the billionaire tier once married. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Swift Continues to Dominate Music Sales Charts
More than 95 percent of Swift and Kelce’s joint net worth comes from the 36-year-old singer-songwriter, who was rated as the world’s third-richest “self-made” woman last year by Forbes. And Swift’s personal bank account keeps growing. News that would have reached Swift this week from the world’s second-largest company showed just one way that the global pop megastar’s wealth is steadily increasing with no end in sight.
Since the release of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, last October, Swift’s dominance of the various music charts has only increased. The latest news came this week from Apple and its digital music store, iTunes.
On the latest worldwide iTunes Music song chart, dated March 2, Swift holds two of the top 10 spots with her most recent singles, both taken from the Showgirl album.
The first single from the album, “The Fate of Ophelia,” sat in the No. 4 spot in its 144th day on the iTunes chart. Swift’s follow-up, “Opalite,” came in at No. 7, with 133 days on the global iTunes sales chart.
Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia” single earlier peaked at No. 1 on the iTunes chart and spent 44 days in the top slot, while “Opalite” reached No. 2 for one day.
How Much Money Is Swift Making From iTunes?
The iTunes chart measures actual paid downloads from Apple’s music store. Apple also has a streaming service, Apple Music, that has its own separate chart and pay structure.
While Apple does not publicize how much artists on either service are paid for their music, reports put the artist’s share of an iTunes download â usually priced from $0.99 to $1.29 per song â at approximately $0.70 to $0.85 per paid download.
While the iTunes sales charts do not include exact sales figures, it is safe to say that Swift’s share of download revenue would rank on the high end, meaning that for each million downloads she would receive approximately $850,000. In other words, her continued dominance of the iTunes worldwide chart, likely representing tens if not hundreds of millions of downloads, is causing her net worth â and once they hold their wedding, Kelceâs â to swell significantly.
