Highest Paid Musician of 2014? Taylor Swift with $40 Million thats $6 Million more than last years high praised Queen Madonna... and that is NOT including Taylors Merchandising, Sponsorships or Synchronization... Just Sayin Taylors tour revenue was $30 million from the US only in under 6 months! It took an 88 show World Tour for Madonna to gross $32 Million. 2013: 15th - $12 Million, 2012: 1st - $36 Million, 2011 2014: Physical, digital, touring — Taylor Swift, 23, crushed it on pretty much every level in 2013, with merchandising, branding and sponsorships (not factored into her total haul) only upping her stature as a mainstream go-to. Indeed, Swift has hit that sweet-spot demo that captures revenue from every angle. Her album sales are eighth among all of Billboard’s Money Makers and trail only Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton among country acts. On the digital front, Swift is an elite artist at nearly 10 million downloads, ranking sixth, and she’s fifth in streaming royalties, leaving her country peers in the dust. But where the singer truly shines is in touring, perhaps the best metric of fan passion. Swift’s revenue from six months of touring the United States on the global Red Tour tops all of her fellow Money Makers with an estimated take of $30 million. Beyond her take of ticket receipts, the tour boasted three integrated sponsorships (Keds, Elizabeth Arden, Diet Coke) whose estimated cash value is believed to be in the high seven figures, and, at $17 per head in merch sales, Swift stands to bring in an additional $10 million gross.
