Katy Perry tops Forbes list of top women earners in music

  • 9 years ago
Katy Perry is roaring loudly on top of Forbes' 2015 list of the highest earning women in music.
Thanks to her Prismatic World Tour and deals with Coty, Claire's and CoverGirl, the "Roar" songstress, 31, earned an estimated $135 million from June 1, 2014, to June 1, 2015, to clinch the No. 1 spot, the financial magazine said.
Perry's tour, which concluded its run last month, is said to have grossed more than $2 million in each city.
Landing in the No. 2 position is the quirky pop vixen's purported "frenemy," Taylor Swift, who reportedly wrote her chart-topper "Bad Blood" about the beef between them.
The "Shake It Off" singer, 25, earned an estimated $80 million following the launch of her widely successful pop album "1989" in October 2014.
