Taylor Swift has become one of the most successful recording artists in music history

Swift has also become one of the most successful female recording artists ever, surpassed only by Rihanna in digital record single sales. Rihanna has reached 166.5 million in sales, while Swift has earned 137.5 million. The 12-time Grammy winner is in great company, as Beyonce claims the third spot, pulling in 114.5 million.

It's hard to believe the 33-year-old has much time for extracurricular activities, especially when flying all over to spend with her new boyfriend, but we've learned she does have a fondness for cars – and has built a collection worth over 1.3 million. Included in the mix? A Barbie pink Chevrolet Silverado, naturally, as well as a Toyota Sequoia, the celebrity favourite Cadillac Escalade, and a Porsche 911 Turbo.
