Taylor Swift for President?

Taylor Swift is no longer just the highest-paid female singer on the planet.

She’s also one of the top leaders on earth.

That’s according to Fortune magazine, which lists the superstar #6 on its 2015 rankings of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders. The magazine calls her pop’s savviest star, pointing to her ability to make money off her persona and music in an era of free streaming. And Fortune says her efforts could have ripple effects throughout the entire industry.

Yahoo Finance’s Aaron Task feels it’s pretty obvious why Swift was picked to be on the list.

“She’s the CEO of Taylor Swift, Inc., which is a humongous business and she’s been incredibly successful,” he argues. “This has not happened by accident, and they’re crediting her for the success of her own brand.”

But is she in the same category of someone such as Pope Francis (#4)?

“Is she one of the great leaders of the world?” asks Task. “I don’t know, but she’s certainly one of the great leaders in the industry that she’s in.”

Plus, according to Yahoo Finance Columnist Rick Newman, Swift is a leader when it comes to influencing young women.

“She’s a great role model,” he says. “Especially when you look at the alternatives-- the Kardashians, Miley Cyrus, plenty of nonsense out there.”

Newman adds that even though Swift isn’t exactly solving the world’s great problems, she’s nice to have around.

“Look, it’s not like she’s the elected premier of Swiftonia and she’s leading some nation of 500 million people out of poverty,” he notes. “But she’s welcome and she’s very refreshing and she has her act together.”

But as Task points out, very few real U.S. government officials are on the list, anyway.

“That says something about the lack of leadership in this country today,” he says. “We could use more Taylor Swifts maybe running for elected office. I’d vote for her.”
