Looks like 2015 is going to be yet another banner year for Taylor Swift.
After sweeping 8 gongs at the recent 2015 Billboard Music Awards and breaking a Vevo record, Tay has now made history once more for being the youngest person to be on Forbes' list of the world's most powerful women.
On the said 100-strong roster, the 25-year-old ranked number 65 and was also described as one of the "new celebrity role models."
"Taylor Swift donated five figures to the New York City Department of Education from sales of 'Welcome to New York,' and promises to continue to give as long as the song sells," Forbes said.
The business and finance news site also noted that her inclusion in the list can be attributed to her earning power as an artist and businesswoman, which was eveident with the platinum-selling "1989" album, one of the very few that reached platinum levels in 2014. In fact, Tay is only one of three artists whose album sales went past the 1 million mark last year.
"The bona fide, cross-genre global megastar has not only broken record sales and captivated the world with her fantastically honest music, but she has proven herself as an impressive businesswoman," Forbes explained in a separate piece. "Late last year, the pop-country singer pulled her entire catalogue from Spotify, making at a strike for the notion that streaming services don't adequately compensate artists."
"As an entertainer, she has also changed the sometimes cruel culture of fame itself," the news source went on. "Swift knows the key to making her voice and actions heard and taken seriously: getting her millions of fans to trust her."
Notably, Tay is 6 years younger than the next youngest female on the Forbes list, Elizabeth Holmes, who ranks number 72 for founding and heading blood-testing firm Theranos.
"Swift joins other illustrious women in the media, music or film industries, including Beyoncé, no.21 (who first made the list in 2010 aged 28), Sofia Vergara, no.57; Ellen DeGeneres, no.50; Angelina Jolie, no.54; Oprah Winfrey, no.12; and Shakira, no.81," The Independent noted.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel sits on top of the list for the second year in a row.
Recently, Tay revealed in an interview that it's not "that hard" to be a pop star.
"Sometimes I really don't think it's that hard at all," she repeatedly said.
"When I was starting out I'd go on tour for three months and I was gone for three months," she went on to reveal, according to the BBC. "Now almost 10 years in I thank God we get to play bigger shows so I don't have to play as many."
"If we're playing stadiums, I'll do two or three a week, not five shows a week, then I get to fly home in between. It's not that bad," she explained. "It's not that hard. It's made out to be harder than it is."
She also went on to say that she cannot afford to complain about the lack of normality in her life as she had worked hard to be where she is now.
"That's my life and I chose this and I can't then complain about it because then I'm a jerk, if you work that hard to get somewhere and then you get there and you're like: 'I hate this'," she added.
