Singer Taylor Swift has been named the highest-paid musician of last year with a revenue of USD 73.5 million. The 26 year old pop sensation became the top earner of the year, thanks to her 1989 World Tour, which included cameo appearances by Julia Roberts, Mick Jagger and Joan Baez.
Swift's USD 61.7 million in touring revenue accounted for the lion's share of her 2015 haul, but Ryan Adams' stark reinterpretation of her 1989 album also helped make her the top earner of publishing royalties.
