KATY PERRY has one more reason to “Roar.”
The “Teenage Dream” singer landed at the top of Forbes’ 2015 list of highest-paid musicians, besting formidable competition such as One Direction and Taylor Swift.
According to Forbes, Perry raked in US$135 million over the past 12 months, taking in more than US$2 million per city on her Prismatic World Tour this year. Taking second place was boy band One Direction, who collectively raked in US$130 million over the past year.
Garth Brooks, who came out of semi-retirement this year to undertake a lucrative concert tour, placed third on the list with US$90 million.
While 2015 seems to have been the year of Taylor Swift, the “1989” singer landed fourth on the list, amassing US$80 million for the year. Classic rockers The Eagles took fifth place on the list.
