Taylor Swift became a billionaire back in 2023 after working in the music industry for more than a decade. The pop star was pushed into the billionaire status mostly due to the success of her legendary Eras Tour, which she wrapped up in December 2024. At one point, Taylor Swift was considered to be the youngest self made female billionaire in the world, but it seems like that is no longer the case.
Taylor Swift is no longer the youngest self made female billionaire
According to Forbes, Taylor Swift lost her status to a 30 year old woman who is a tech founder. Lucy Gao was the co-founder of San Francisco based artificial intelligence company Scale AI but in 2018 she was fired from the company by her partner.
However, Lucy Gao still owns 5% stake in the company she founded, and now the stake is worth a whopping $1.2 billion. This has made Lucy Gao the world’s youngest self made female billionaire - a title that Taylor Swift carried for nearly two years.
While Taylor Swift might have lost the youngest billionaire title, she is still one of the most popular artists across the world at this point in time. Even though the pop sensation has tried to keep a low profile ever since the drama that unfolded at the Super Bowl LIX, she has continued to be in the news due to her personal life and successful career.
Where is Taylor Swift as she tries to deal with the Kanye West controversy?
At this time, as per People, a source has revealed that the billionaire pop star is spending most of her time with her boyfriend, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, Travis Kelce.
The source said, “They have been travelling nonstop and very much enjoy it. They are making the most of their time off together.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce started dating in 2023 and have been together for close to two years despite the criticism and hate that they have received.
Currently, Taylor Swift has found herself in a huge controversy related to Kanye West after he made demeaning posts about her, which were later deleted.
One of the posts read as, “IM MAD I HAVENT F***ED TAYLOR SWIFT … YET.”
A second post made by him which has now been deleted on X read as, “Justin Bieber and Harry Styles f***ed Taylor Swift from both sides and didn’t call me..."
Taylor Swift has remained silent but her fans have come out in full support and has brutally slammed Kanye West.
