Taylor Swift turned down a $9 million offer from the United Arab Emirates. for a very simple reason

The story begins in March, when French Montana posted a screenshot of a performance offer from a mysterious person. According to the content of the message, French and an unnamed artist were invited to perform for an attractive price, one million USD for rapper Pop That and 9 million USD for the mysterious singer. Time is any weekend in December 2023, except December 6-8.

“Someone sent me a gig offer. Who do you think is the person paid 9 million USD? “, the star born in 1984 captioned.

The post was deleted not long after. However, the audience is still curious about the identity of the artist who is paid such an attractive salary.

It wasn’t until April 11, in an interview with VladTV, that French revealed that his colleague who is 9 times more valuable than him is Taylor Swift.

“They gave me and Taylor an invitation to perform. She’s worth $9 million, I’m worth $1 million. Somewhere in the United Arab Emirates,” he said.

Given the fact that Taylor has no shows in the Middle East in December 2023, the Bad Blood singer appears to have declined the invitation. It’s unclear why Taylor made that decision. Taylor’s representative did not respond when contacted by the press.

According to Page Six, money is definitely not an issue for the pop superstar as she was named a billionaire in early April. Forbes reported Taylor has amassed an estimated fortune of $1.1 billion, based on income from the blockbuster Eras Tour tour, the value of music products and real estate investments. Taylor is also the first artist to become a USD billionaire based solely on music.

From March 2023 to December 2024, Taylor devoted all her energy to a tour across 5 continents. Even though it’s only halfway through, the Eras Tour has already set the record for highest-grossing tour of all time, earning more than a billion dollars.

The next schedule of the Eras Tour is to Paris on May 9. Currently, the beauty spends all her rest time with her boyfriend, football star Travis Kelce – who is also on vacation after winning the 2024 Super Bowl.

The couple is said to be planning to attend the 2024 Coachella music festival (taking place for 2 weeks on April 12-14 and April 19-21) in California, USA, to support singer Lana Del. Rey.
