Despite the fact that her recent album\u00a0Witness\u00a0<\/em>was a critical\u00a0flop<\/a>\u00a0(which she knows), Katy Perry still managed to become this year\u2019s highest paid woman in music through persistence, touring, and\u00a0American Idol<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Forbes<\/em>, she beat out both Beyonc\u00e9 (who was\u00a02017’s top earner<\/a>) and Taylor Swift (2016’s\u00a0highest paid<\/a>) to take the top spot this year. Perry pulled in a reported $83 million pretax in 2018, a combination of touring her failed attempt at\u00a0\u201cpurposeful pop,\u201d<\/a>\u00a02017’s\u00a0Witness\u00a0<\/em>(that\u2019s 80 dates, averaging\u00a0<\/strong>$1 million a night) and her role as a\u00a0judge<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0American Idol<\/em>\u00a0(reportedly $20 million). The singing competition likely gave Perry an advantage, pushing her to number one.<\/p>\n

For the Witness tour, Boxscore\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0similar nightly tour earnings: $1.7 million in Connecticut, $2.6 in New York City, $1 million in Brooklyn, $750,000+ in Pittsburgh, etc. The Forbes article also points out that most of Swift\u2019s Reputation tour and Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z\u2019s On the Run II tour will count toward next year\u2019s numbers, so this could be a case of good timing on Perry\u2019s behalf. She\u2019s gonna get that\u00a0cozy Christmas<\/a>\u00a0after all.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the full list:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Katy Perry ($83 million)<\/p>\n

2. Taylor Swift ($80 million)<\/p>\n

3. Beyonc\u00e9 ($60 million)<\/p>\n

4. Pink ($52 million)<\/p>\n

5. Lady Gaga ($50 million)<\/p>\n

6. Jennifer Lopez ($47 million)<\/p>\n
