  Katy Perry topped the Forbes’ highest paid women for 2018 in the industry of music.

  Perry has earned about $83 million from June 2017 up to June 2018. The reason coming up is her “Witness” tour where she had 80 scheduled dates as judge on American Idol on ABC.

  She was succeeded by Taylor Swift with $80 million from last year’s third spot because of the “Reputation” album which was sold with two million copies worldwide.

  While Beyonce, from the top spot, goes down to third with $60 million.
