Publishing its 21st annual ‘World’s 100 Most Powerful Women‘ list on Tuesday (December 11), Forbes billed the ranking the definitive index of the “most inspirational female CEOs, entertainers, politicians, philanthropists and policy makers” who are making enduring impacts on and around the globe.

Listing Taylor Swift at #23 overall (#1 in the media and entertainment category), the Pop diva leads big names like Oprah (#33) and Beyonce (#35) on the coveted count after yet another killer year that saw her not only nab multiple smash hits on Billboard but also become a billionaire thanks to her history-making ‘Eras Tour.’
