So how did Taylor become ‘The World’s Highest-Paid Woman in Music?’  According to Forbes, “Taylor pulled in $185 million pretax over the past year.  Much of it came from her Reputation Stadium Tour, which grossed a U.S.-record $266 million.  She also cashed in on a new-nine figure deal with Universal’s Republic Records, and her new album Lover, released last week, is poised to add addition dollars to her coffers after a prime-time performance to kick off the 2019 VMAs.”  And this isn’t the first time Taylor topped a Forbes list for 2019 – a few months back, Taylor topped the ‘Highest-Paid Celebrity List.’
