Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny Break Record on Forbes' Latest Highest Paid Entertainer List
She’s the highest paid female entertainer, while he’s the highest paid Latin artist.
Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny are once again making history but this time for different reasons. Forbes recently published their top 10 list of highest paid entertainers, which features the dynamic duo.
Swift was ranked at No. 9, making $92 million last year. She’s the only woman on the list, making her the highest paid female entertainer of 2022. “Combined income streams from physical record sales, streaming on platforms like Spotify, digital downloads, licensing and sync make up Swift’s earnings,” read the outlet’s report on Swift. “It begs the question: What can’t the 33-year-old superstar (and her loyal fanbase, the Swifties) accomplish? Crashing Ticketmaster with insane demand for her Midnights tour in November suggests an even bigger 2023 for her, as she’ll be on the road for 52 nights across the U.S. with a potential 9 figure payout as a result.”
Bad Bunny came in at No. 10, earning $88 million in 2022. He stood out as the only Latin artist on the list. “The Puerto Rican rapper, best known for combining reggaeton (a mix of Caribbean reggae and mainland rap) with Latin trap (a hip hop subgenre with roots in the Southern U.S.) charmed millions around the world as he flew on a palm tree on tour, appeared alongside Brad Pitt in Bullet Train, and challenged machismo with genderfluid style,” Forbes shared. “The lion’s share of his income came from two tours: El Último Tour Del Mundo, performed in arenas, and The World’s Hottest Tour, his first time playing in the biggest possible stadiums. Endorsements with the likes of Corona, Cheetos and Adidas were icing on the cake.”
