Katy Perry steals the Forbes crown once more for the highest paid woman in music for 2018, after earning the Forbes highest paid musician top spot back in 2015.
The Witness musician has claimed another Forbes top spot as the highest paid woman in music for 2018.
Katy Perry earned a staggering $83 million before tax this year thanks to her 80-date world tour for her Witness record, with each night pulling in close to $1 million.
Alongside performing to the world, the popstar also managed to find time to appear as a judge on the new season of American Idol.
Hot on her heels is Taylor Swift, who took $80 million across the year following her Reputation tour.
