Billboard ranked the 100 most powerful people in the music industry. Most of the spots went to record label heads/ hit song producers, but a few major artists made the rank... Including 78. Taylor Swift
Quote:
The humble approach Taylor Swift takes to her career has led her to achieve album sales of more than 20 million worldwide, according to Big Machine Records, and to rank No. 5 on Billboard's top-grossing tours of 2011, pulling in $97.3 million from 89 concerts, according to Billboard Boxscore. In addition, Swift owns her management company, 13 Management, with Robert Allen serving as manager. With a significant presence overseas and a huge following on her website, Facebook and Twitter, the 22-year-old singer has become a branding powerhouse. Deals include a retail partnership with Target, a multimillion-dollar ad campaign and tour sponsorship with CoverGirl, a fragrance with Elizabeth Arden and a relationship with Sony Electronics. She's also designed her own clothing line for Walmart, appeared in ads for the National Hockey League and co-created her own doll. She was named Woman of the Year at Billboard's 2011 Women in Music ceremony, becoming the youngest artist to receive the award. Needless to say, she's got staying power.
The only female artist higher than her is Beyonce, who was included as part of a "Jay-Z and Beyonce" power combo. Gaga was in the 80s.
Cause when you're twenty two and the whole world bows down to you...

She'll only get higher as she gets older.
What about her own bus company? Leslie Stahl said it in 60 minutes. She really is a business powerhouse!
