Katy Perry emerges first as Forbes’ highest paid woman in music 2018. From the ninth place last year to the first place, Katy Perry has many reasons to be fierce and happy. With a huge sum of $83 million, Katy Perry comes first after Taylor Swift who backs her with a sum of $80 million pretax from June 1, 2017 to June 1, 2018.
Katy Perry’s top spot on this list is due to the success of her world tour for her fifth album, Witness, with grossing over $1 million per night and serving as a judge on ABC’s American Idol earning $20 million. Taylor Swift came in second place with $80 million over the same period with the success of her Reputation album and tour.
Beyonce comes third with a total sum of $60 million. According to Forbes, Beyonce had a quiet year in June 2017 after the birth of her twins, Rumi and Sir. However, ‘much of this summer’s On The Run II, their second stadium tour together, will be reflected in our next scoring period—boosted by an inevitable deluge of new moneymaking opportunities.’
