Pop star Katy Perry has been named the world's highest-paid musician in 2015, with an earning of USD 135 million over the past year.
The "Dark Horse" singer's Prismatic World Tour helped Perry to pull in the staggering amount, according to Forbes magazine.
Her rumoured rival Taylor Swift only came in at number four on this list, earning a reported USD 70 million between June 2014 and June 2015.
One Direction and Garth Brooks also out-earned the "Shake It Off" singer.
Swift's boyfriend Calvin Harris raked in an estimated USD 66 million last year, putting him at number six on Forbes' list.
