But the pop diva’s income pales in comparison wot last year’s top-earner, boxer Floyd Mayweather, who raked in almost $400 million in 2015 after his fight with Manny Pacquiao, but easily wins the battle of musicians. Last year’s highest-earning muso, Katy Perry, who took home $179 million.

She also smashed the likes of Adele at No. 9 with $105 million, Madonna at $101 million and Rihanna who earned $99 million.

Forbes reported Swift’s 2016 pay cheque is by far the highest total of her career, more than doubling last year’s $106 million, her previous best.

Had Swift stuck with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, who earned $84 million, they would have been last year’s top-earning Celebrity 100 couple, more than doubling Beyonce and Jay Z’s $142 million.
