Forbes 2019 Full List: Taylor Swift leads top-earning musicians

December 9,2019
Share:

US singer and songwriter, Taylor Swift has come in at number one on Forbes’ ‘top-earning musicians of 2019’ list.

The talented musician raked in an estimated $185 million in pre-tax earnings from June 2018 to June 2019, “thanks to a new record deal, a bevy of endorsements, and the tail end of her most recent tour,” said the magazine.

The feat — which is her second in five years — caps what has been a remarkable year for the pop star.

It also comes a few weeks after the 29-year-old vocalist won ‘Artist of the Decade’ alongside five other major awards at the 2019 edition of American Music Awards (AMAs), smashing the 24-award tally previously held by Michael Jackson, late American pop star.

Kanye West emerged second on the list with $150 million while Ed Sheeran took the third spot with $110 million.

Rounding out the top 5 are The Eagles, a rock band, which came in at number 4 with an estimated income of $100 million while Elton John secured the fifth spot, raking in $84 million.
