The Highest Paid Musician of the Year

And the award goes to...

Taylor Swift. 

Not only is she the highest paid musician, but she's the highest paid entertainer under 30. Forbes is reporting that she earned $57 million dollars in the past year. She beat out J Biebs, who came in a close second, earning only $55 million in the past year. Poor guy. She even beat out Gaga, who I thought was making boatloads of money?

I don't know why I find this odd, but I suppose it makes sense. Homegirl has lots of little pop-country fans, and some older, not-usually-listening-to-country-but-secretly-loves-Taylor-Swift-fans, too (guilty).
