KATY PERRY HIGHEST PAID WOMAN IN MUSIC

KATY PERRY HIGHEST PAID WOMAN IN MUSIC>>

 

Now that they’re friends, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift will want to pop the champagne together for this one.

The just-released Forbes list of the year’s highest-paid women in music features both artists.

Perry raked in $83 million, before taxes — largely because of “Witness: The Tour” and her work as a judge on the rebooted American Idol — between June 1, 2017, and June 1, 2018, according to the magazine. Swift pulled in a close second, at $80 million, and Forbes noted that the only reason she didn’t snag the list’s top spot is that most of the dates for her “Reputation Stadium Tour” were too late to count toward her income this year. The tour started May 8.
