Taylor Swift was recently announced as 2016’s highest-paid artist and it really should come as no surprise. Forbes made this announcement with their yearly look at how musicians do financially. They take a look at how artists do from June 1 of one year to June 1 of the next to determine how they do.
Swift made about $170 million last year from an amazing 1989 tour and endorsements to go along with that. She’s making so much more money than the rest it’s not even funny! One Direction comes in at $110 million made this past year, while Adele is third with $80 million generated.
Others on the list include Rihanna ($75 million) and Madonna ($76.5 million).
