"Fortune" magazine put together a list of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders. The top tier includes the CEO of Apple, the head of the European Central Bank, the president of China . . . and the chick who sings "Shake It Off". Yes, TAYLOR SWIFT is on a list of the world's greatest leaders. And she came in SIXTH . . . just behind the Pope and the prime minister of India. "Fortune" picked her because she's the highest-paid woman in music, she stood up to Spotify, and, quote, "she has proved shrewder at honing a brand in the social media age than virtually any other person or company."

Taylor is one of only a few celebrities on the list. NBA stars YAO MING and LEBRON JAMES came in 26th and 31st, respectively . . . and JIMMY FALLON came in 45th. Some of the other people Taylor beat include: Chief Justice John Roberts at #8, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz at #17, Bill Gates at #18, Mark Zuckerberg at #25, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos at #27, and NBA commissioner Adam Silver at #47.
