Like every year, Forbes published the list of the artists that generated the most money in 2022. In the top 10 there was only one woman. You guessed it, Taylor Swift! The surprising thing is that she beat other singers who had spectacular tours, like Harry Styles and Bad Bunny himself, who had swept every award show she had stopped.
Taylor released Midnights, her tenth studio album, in October last year, becoming the first artist in history to top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. A month later, 14 million followers loyalists tried to buy tickets for her Eras Tour 2023 tour, which ended up collapsing the Ticketmaster system, but predicting that 2023 will be even juicier for Taylor in terms of earnings.

As Forbes explains, most of the $92 million in earnings (yes, you read that right) that Taylor generated come from his catalogue, that is, from his songs prior to Midnights. But it is expected that in 2023, with a long-awaited tour and with all her music, Taylor can climb back to the top 5, because believe it or not, that ninth place is low for her. She has been on this list a total of six times and in 2019 she topped the list of the highest-paid artists in the world.
And Bad Bunny?
We all know it: Bad Bunny touched the sky in 2022. He was the most listened to artist on Spotify, he had a tour that earned him millions, he made his film debut with Brad Pitt. The Puerto Rican did so well that he says that this year he will rest from music (we already saw that he will only slow down), but even so he could not surpass Taylor and stayed in tenth place on the list.

And to all this, who were the highest paid artists. in the world in 2022 above these two money making machines? We will live in the era of reggaeton and pop, but the classics continue to dominate the profits. The first place went to the Genesis group, led by Phil Collins, with 230 million dollars; Sting, which reached 210 million; and in third was the screenwriter and playwright Tyler Perry, who took 175 million dollars.
We’ll see next year where Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny are on the list of the highest-paid artists in the world.
