Yeah, so somehow Katy Perry is 2015’s highest paid chick musician according to Forbes.
Katy Perry left Taylor Swift and every other female singer in the dust, earning $135 MILLION this year! Forbes dropped the bombshell, reporting Katy raked in more than $2 mil per city during her Prismatic World Tour. With 126 shows, it adds up fast. Taylor Swift, who’s had a rivalry with Katy, came in second but way behind Katy with $80 million.
I made a D in Calculus, but I know 126 x 2 = 252, so it’s unclear where the other $117M went. I guess her manager and lawyers, because Taylor Swift voodoo dolls can’t be that expensive.
