Singer Taylor Swift has made it on the Forbes Power Women List for first time this year, being placed at number 65 for her career achievements and charity work.

Swift has been selected for several reasons, including her brave decision to pull all her music from online streaming service Spotify which led to her latest album "1989", achieving the largest first week sales of any LP record on the Billboard 200 chart since 2002. Her influence on social media has also counted as she has 58 million followers on micro-blogging website Twitter.

Swift also became a spokesperson for the New York Tourism Board and is donating all proceeds from her track "Welcome To New York" to public schools in the city, already having given $50,000 to the Department of Education in February.

Other celebrities in the List include Sofia Vergara at number 57, who is the highest-earning actress on television; talk show host Ellen DeGeneres at number 50; and Angelina Jolie at the 54th spot for her brave decision to go public with her cancer operations and work as a UN Special Envoy.
