If Taylor Swift still has a "Blank Space," she can write in a dollar sign now.
The pop superstar, who reached billionaire status in October, landed on Forbes' World’s Billionaires list, the business magazine shared Tuesday. Among other celeb billionaires who made the cut – including Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and "Star Wars" creator George Lucas – Swift was ranked at No. 14 with a net worth of $1.1 billion.
Lucas topped the celebrity billionaires list with a whopping net worth of $5.5 billion.
However, Swift has made history with her economic achievement. The "Is It Over Now?" singer is the first person to reach billionaire status "based solely on songwriting and performing," according to Forbes.

Swift had a lucrative 2023, thanks in large part to her record-breaking Eras Tour, which became the first tour in history to earn more than $1 billion. The global trek, which kicked off in March 2023, took in an estimated ticket gross of $1.04 billion last year from 4.35 million tickets sold, according to music industry trade publication Pollstar.
Swift's U.S. concerts added an estimated $4.3 billion to the country’s gross domestic product in 2023, Bloomberg reported in October.
A concert film of the tour, "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour," opened at the box office in October with earnings of $92.8 million. Within days, it became the highest-grossing concert film ever in North America, not accounting for inflation.

Swift's billionaire ranking follows a big night at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday. The singer, who was not in attendance, took home six awards, including artist of the year.
"I wanted to say thank you so much to anyone who voted for this award," said Swift in a recorded video. "To the fans, it's completely up to you to choose how you spend your time, what concerts you want to go to, what music do you want to make the soundtrack to your life, and to anyone who has included me in those choices, I'm so so so thankful for that."
