Top 10 highest paid female musicians in 2015 – See who’s number 1! (With Pictures)

2. Taylor Swift: $80 Million 

As is explained in the Forbes piece, it seems that it is a matter of when and not if Taylor Swift will be atop the list of the highest paid women in music. That “when” could be as soon as 2016. Swift has gone from being a budding country music star who was strumming on her guitar to an empire all her own. Whether she is performing and partying with the United States Women’s National Team that won the 2015 World Cup or she is bringing supermodels up on stage, Swift continues to set new standards. For 2015, however, Swift falls behind only one woman, an artist she may consider to be a foe these days.
