Taylor Swift Is 'Forbes'' Top-Paid Celebrity, Beats Adele, Katy Perry, Calvin Harris
As if we needed any further indication of her power, Taylor Swift has been named the top-earning celebrity of the past year.
Forbes released their annual Celebrity 100 list where the "Blank Space" singer earned a reported $170 million, mostly in thanks to the singer's 1989 World Tour that earned more than $200 million last year.
Swift rose above all her rivals last year, surpassing earnings from Adele (at No. 9 with $80.5 million), Madonna (No. 12, $76.5 million), Rihanna (No. 13, $75 million) and Katy Perry (No. 63, $41 million). She also earned more than double what her ex Calvin Harris netted last year with the "Olé" DJ landing at No. 21 with his $63 million.
