Taylor Swift, Kanye West Top Forbes’ List Of Top-Earning Musician Of 2019

American singer and songwriter, Taylor Swift, topped the list of ‘top-earning musicians of 2019’ according to Forbes.

The earnings of the music star, excluding tax, from June 2018 to June 2019, stood at $185 Million. Her earning is credited to “a new record deal, a bevvy of endorsements, and the tail end of her most recent tour,” said the magazine.

This is coming 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.
