Taylor Swift becomes the highest paid woman in music, Beyoncé comes second

Forbes have come out again with the rich list, and this time, it’s about women who are doing amazingly well in music and getting the bag.

The ‘Lover’ album Singer, Taylor Swift has topped the list of highest paid women in music, followed by the Black Queen, Beyoncé.

The list comes off as a result of the amount generated from the list of tracks from June 2018 – June 2019.

Swift’s recently released album ‘Lover’ contributed in making her the highest-paid woman in music, after making 400K plus sales on the first day. The estimated amount of money she has made within Forbes given time frame is $185 million.

Beyoncé who comes second after Swift has made $81 million, that’s quite a huge gap. Most of her revenue is said to have come from the ‘On the Run’ tour with husband Jay Z, and Netflix’s special, ‘Homecoming.’

However, fans are wowed by the fact that Rihanna made it on the list, considering the fact that her last album was released in 2016. She came third on the list with an amount of $62 million.
