Taylor Swift has topped the Forbes list of highest-paid female musicians in the world in 2016, pulling in a whopping US$170 million in the last year.
The 'Bad Blood' hitmaker earned more than the combined total of the next two women on the list - Adele and Madonna, respectively.
Swift, 26, made the bulk of her income through her 1989 World Tour, but also had highly profitable marketing deals with brands such as Diet Coke, Apple and Keds, all on top of her album and single sales.
"Taylor has completely overtaken everyone on our list due to the phenomenal success of her 1989 World Tour," said Forbes.
"She played nearly twice as many dates as competitors like Adele and Rihanna during our scoring period, and managed to fill stadiums - the largest type of building one can play - throughout lucrative North American markets and beyond."
Rihanna and Beyoncé round out the list's top five spots, while Katy Perry - last year's number one - slipped to sixth place.
