Katy Perry, not Taylor Swift, is the highest-paid woman in music

Katy Perry may be drowning in bad blood, but at least she can afford lots of band-aids to cover Taylor Swift's bullet holes now. (Sorry, we had to.)

Forbes magazine announced Wednesday that Perry is the top-earning female in music in 2015.

It may come as a surprise considering the media (and world) domination that has been Taylor Swift and her 1989 album/tour, but Forbes reports Perry beat Swift out, racking in $135 million in just the past year thanks to her Prismatic world tour.

The "Roar" singer also holds major sponsorship deals with CoverGirl, Claire's and Coty.

Perry's rumored enemy Swift holds the #2 spot on Forbes list, earning $80 million in 2015. Fleetwood Mac (yes, really) earns the #3 spot with $59.5 million, Lady Gaga follows with $59 million, and, shockingly, Beyoncé only rose to the fifth spot with $54.5 million.

Beyoncé held the #1 spot in 2014 thanks to her On the Run tour with hubby Jay Z — oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Perry, who covered Forbes "Celebrity 100" issue over the summer, previously told the magazine, "I am proud of my position as a boss, as a person that runs my own company, I’m an entrepreneur. … I don’t want to shy away from it. I actually want to kind of grab it by its balls.”
