Who’s the most powerful woman in media and entertainment? It’s not the head of a TV network or a movie studio \u2014 it’s Taylor Swift<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That’s according to Forbes<\/em>, which has published its annual list of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women<\/a>, based on four main metrics: money, media, impact and spheres of influence. Taylor comes in at #21 on the list, which makes her the highest-ranked, and therefore the most powerful, woman in the Media & Entertainment category.<\/p>\n

In explaining her ranking, Forbes<\/em> notes<\/a> Taylor’s estimated net worth of $1.6 billion; the popularity of her Eras Tour and its potential impact on how concert tickets are sold; and the fact that she reacquired the rights to her master recordings.<\/p>\n

In the Media & Entertainment category, Taylor outranks Oprah Winfrey<\/strong>, who’s at #30, and\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>, who’s #33. According to Forbes<\/em>, she’s also more powerful than Dana Walden<\/strong>, the co-chairman of Disney Entertainment; Donna Langley<\/strong>, the chairman of NBC Universal; and Bela Bajaria<\/strong>, the chief content officer of Netflix, among others.<\/p>\n

Coming in at #100<\/a> are “the women of KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>,” including HUNTR\/X<\/strong> vocalists EJAE<\/strong>, Audrey Nuna<\/strong> and Rei Ami<\/strong>, co-director Maggie Kang<\/strong> and producer Michelle Wong<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The #1 most powerful woman in the world, according to Forbes<\/em>?\u00a0Ursula von der Leyen<\/strong>. She’s president of the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union.<\/p>\n
