Bringing to life some of the best works ever produced in country and pop music with their sheer talent and musical prowess, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé both stand as monumental icons of the global music industry. Furthermore, with their influence and fandoms stretching far beyond music and into mainstream culture on a daily basis, the two mega-stars also boast a fortune that ranks higher than even several A-list Hollywood stars.

Incidentally, the release of Queen Bey’s latest album, ‘Cowboy Carter’ sparked mistaken leads of collaboration but also fueled conversations like pitting the two head-to-head.

Going back to their roots, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé both trace their debut origins to the 2000s, although the latter appeared in the musical arena three years before the former’s 2006 release of an album titled to her own name. In the years that followed, the competition went tighter around the neck, and despite raging debates within the fandom, the ‘Wildest Dreams’ singer crossed past the ‘Halo’ singer in sheer numbers with her current $1.1 billion net worth against the latter’s $540 million.

Interestingly, Taylor Swift has more claim to fame as she stands as the only artist to achieve a billionaire status based solely on her music. On the other hand, Beyoncé has made an expanded fortune from her business ventures, such as Parkwood Entertainment, and real-estate investments, alongside her husband, Jay-Z. Brushing aside sales figures, the ‘1989’ singer managed to earn out a majority of her current net worth from the Eras Tour shows and concert movie, which again soared higher than Queen Bey’s ‘Renaissance’ projects.

Regardless of their professional careers, the two artists maintain an amicable relationship with support going both ways.

Taylor Swift and Beyoncé found themselves linked suddenly thanks to Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, at the 2009 MTV VMAs. Yet, in the years that followed, the duo made cordial reunions at fashion shows, and the Carter couple also attended the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer’s 25th birthday party in New York City. In reciprocation, the 34-year-old singer also dazzled in silver to show her support for Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé during its London premiere.

A far cry for fans, however, still remains the need for a collaboration. Taylor Swift found her way into the credits as a background vocal artist for Beyoncé’s latest album ‘Cowboy Carter’. However, it turned out to be false. Thus, despite the camaraderie and cordiality, the two arguably biggest female pop stars have yet to officially collaborate.
