By Kara Johnson
Taylor Swift has had quite the successful end of 2017. She’s released an album, has skyrocketed to the top of the charts, hit records and we know more is about to come her way in the future.
Miss Swift, a famous pop superstar who grew up on a Christmas tree farm, moved to Nashville, now is taking over the streets of New York and is the most famous artist in the world is a force to be reckoned with. Just when you think she can’t get any more successful, she does.
2017 was a remarkable year for the singer. After a long hiatus, Swift blacked out all of her social media accounts and then returned with cryptic videos of a snake-like figure. After the video was released, Swift then announced her sixth studio album entitled reputation. Since then, there has been nothing that can slow her down. Her music video “Look What You Made Me Do” carries the record for the most views in a 24-hour period on YouTube and Vevo. Reputation was the best selling album of the year and is still reigning at No.1 on the charts. Not to mention, reputation is already certified triple platinum according to the RIAA. 2017 was huge but we think 2018 is about to be bigger.
Why do you ask? Swift is about to embark on her Reputation Stadium Tour, a tour that is on track to become one of the biggest tours of all time, already reeling in over $180 million, and the tour doesn’t kick off until May 8 in Arizona. Tour promotors and stadiums that more than half of tickets are already sold out for each tour stop, leaving them no question that the tour will be sold out by the time the first show kicks off. They are projecting that Swift will bring in $450 million worth of tickets.
According to Forbes, Swift earned a solid $44 million in 2017, and she’s about to make triple that in 2018 with a huge tour in the works, that yes, will indeed top the1989 World Tour. Not only will Swift be embarking on a brand new worldwide tour, she’ll also be topping the charts once again. Her next single “End Game” featuring Future and Ed Sheeran will be released soon enough, and the iconic trio will hit it big on the charts. There’s bound to be more incredible singles, music videos, Grammy nominations, and much more in the near future when it comes to Taylor Swift.
