Swifties never doubted it by Taylor Swift’s record return to the top of the UK charts has sparked a flurry of excitement about what she is working on now and a release date for the new music.

Taylor Swift has returned to the top of the UK albums chart with her latest LP The Tortured Poets Department, the Official Charts Company has confirmed.

Swift’s 11th studio album, returned to the peak after a signed CD was released to celebrate its first anniversary, a year after it broke chart records on release, beating Adele’s 30 to earn the biggest opening week in the UK in seven years, since Ed Sheeran’s 2017 record ÷.

The US singer’s return to the summit comes as fans speculate over the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version), and whether there will be a re-record of her self-titled debut.

Swift is already reported to be a billionaire with an estimated net worth of $1.1 billion according to Forbes. Unlike many other of her peers, she did not accrue her wealth from side hustles such as beauty brands or fashion companies but largely through her music which has put her in a unique category with artists such as Bruce Springsteen.

More than $500 million of Swift’s fortune is from music royalties and touring and she is thought to have made $190 million after taxes from the first leg of the Eras tour as well as a further $35 million from the first two weeks of screenings of her film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

Another $500 million has come from the increasing value of her music catalogue and this has continued to soar in value after, in 2019, she joined Universal Music Group’s Republic Records where she was then able to enjoy complete ownership of her songs.
