Taylor Swift is RICH, y'all! She may not be able to snag a boyfriend, but girl knows how to rake in the dough!

Swift, 23, made $57 million last year, according to Parade Magazine's What People Earn issue.

She's the third-highest paid woman in entertainment, behind Oprah and Britney Spears.

But what about the boys? Justin Bieber raked in $55 million in 2012 after his tour and fragrance were huge successes for the 19-year-old. And just to make you feel totally inadequate, guess what that breaks down to as an hourly rate ... $6,261/hour!

Brad Pitt made less than 2/3rds Taylor's salary, coming in at $35.5 million. He didn't have a big movie last year - Killing Them Softly wasn't exactly at box office hit -- but the actor/model's Chanel No. 5 ads brought him $7 million alone. Good thing, because the commercials didn't do wonders for his career!

Meanwhile, Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway pocketed a paltry $10 million for her starring role in Les Mis. Adele made an impressive $32 million, in part due to the success of her James Bond track "Skyfall."

Other top-earners include the Olsen twins at $40 million combined and NCIS actor/producer Mark Harmon who made $38 million!!! He pulls in $500,000 per episode for the crime drama ... who knew?!

Taylor Swift Claims She's Only Dated Two Guys, Says She's Not "Clingy" Or "Desperate"

Mar 5, 2013 09:15 AM

cover-taylor-swift-460.jpg

Taylor Swift covers the March issue of Vanity Fair, and the 23-year-old singer slams reports that she's a serial dater. "You know, if you want some big revelation, since 2010 I have dated exactly two people," Swift says, referring to Conor Kennedy and One Direction hottie Harry Styles. “[T]he fact that there are slide shows of a dozen guys that I either hugged on a red carpet or met for lunch or wrote a song with ... it’s just kind of ridiculous."

When asked if she’s boy-crazy, Swift smiles and says:

    “For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that’s taking something that potentially should be celebrated -- a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way -- that’s taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist.”

While Swift didn't talk about her relationship with Styles, the mag says she "authorized someone to discuss them" with contributing editor Nancy Jo Sales. “He wore her down,” the source says, adding that he “chased” Swift for a year. “He was all, like, ‘You’re amazing—I want to be with you. I want to do this.’” After Swift ended the relationship, he pursued her for nearly a year until she finally took him back. “But the whole time she says she feels like he’s looking at every girl,” the source said. Interestingly enough, Styles' rep said that the source’s claims are “undeniably false.”

While the source added that her relationship with Kennedy was “just like a two-month thing,” Swift “says he was awesome,” and they noted that age has been a huge problem in all of her relationships. “She dated Jake [Gyllenhaal] and John [Mayer] when she was really young and they were in their 30s, and she got really hurt," the insider said. "So it was like ‘That hurt—this won’t. But then it did.’”

In response to reports that Swift bought a house next to the Kennedy family's Hyannis Port compound, Swift says:

    “People say that about me, that I apparently buy houses near every boy I like—that’s a thing that I apparently do. If I like you I will apparently buy up the real-estate market just to freak you out so you leave me. One of these things I say to myself to calm myself down when I feel like it’s all too much ... If there’s a pregnancy rumor, people will find out it’s not true when you wind up not being pregnant, like nine months from now, and if there’s a house rumor, they’ll find out it’s not true when you are actively not ever spotted at that house.”

But Sales reports that Swift actually did purchase the house, as Ocean Drive LLC purchased it for $4.8 million in 2012. Just who is Ocean Drive LLC? The company’s filing papers name Jesse P. Schaudies of 13management, which is Swift’s management company. Between the information about the house and Taylor's mysterious source, we're not sure what to make of her latest sit down...




X17 Poll

Will Taylor ever find true love?

Nah, she'll be a serial dater the rest of her life.
Of course! She's cute and talented; who wouldn't want to settle down with her?
Who knows - she has another ten years to date around ...

Taylor Swift Sued For Cancelling Concert In Canada

Feb 19, 2013 10:15 AM

taylor-swft-sued-230.jpgTaylor Swift is being sued after cancelling a set at a Canadian concert last summer, according to a federal lawsuit.

A legal firm hired to promote the show alleges that the country cutie was paid $2.5 million to perform in August at the “Capital Hoedown” near Ottawa, but she backed out.

After bailing on the gig, Swift did return her fees, but her cancellation led to a serious legal dispute between Evo Merchant Services, LLC, the company hired to sell tickets, and Fire USA Inc., a company that processes credit card orders. The singer was named as a third party, according to court documents filed last month.

Both firms are asking a judge to force Swift to pick up their losses. Taylor is worth an estimated $80 million, so it would probably just be a drop in the bucket, but still!

Taylor Swift Rides Around In A Shopping Cart On The Set Of Her New Music Video

Taylor Swift music video Malibu grocery cart

Taylor Swift was snapped shooting the music video for her new single "22" in Malibu on Monday afternoon, and the country cutie rode around in a shopping cart with her gal pals pushing her. Looks like fun!

On Sunday night, after her circus-themed performance at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, Taylor tweeted a photo of her cat and wrote, “Video shoot early tomorrow, so my Grammy after-party situation looks like………"

Nothing wrong with getting to bed early or snuggling with your kitty, but what about her love life? Taylor covers the new issue of Elle Magazine, and while she may be a cat lady, don't call her crazy! "I don't think I've ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend," she said. "Ever. I'm not a yeller. I'm not a fit thrower. If something is done, it's done."

"I'm sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I'm chasing somebody who doesn't like me as much as I like him - people love that angle on me," she continued. "They're like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys. I never chase boys. They don't like it!'"

We love the Grecian goddess-inspired white J Mendel gown Taylor Swift wore to the 2013 Grammy Awards tonight, but the 23-year-old country cutie is getting super slender these days. Maybe it's just the arm pose? She's always been kinda lanky...

Not only did Taylor look incredible, but she put on quite a show when she performed “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," which is reportedly about ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. And that's not all -- Taylor won the award for Best Song Written For Visual Media Award for "Safe & Sound” from The Hunger Games soundtrack.
