Taylor Swift named the world’s highest-earning music star

As Taylor Swift has done over and over and over again this summer and now fall, the Bad Blood singer is NOT shy about bringing out famous friends for performances on her 1989 World Tour!

TAYLOR Swift is officially the highest paid woman in music, pulling in a staggering US$317.8 million dollars (A$437.8 million) so far in 2015.

It was reported that five shows in North America sold 149,708 ticket sales, earning Swift $23.17 million alone.

Los Angeles-based media analyst Mike Raia told The Daily Mail: “Right now, Taylor is untouchable”.

The news emerges four months after Taylor was placed eighth on the Forbes Celebrity 100 Rich List earlier this year (15).

Forbes has predicted Swift will be a billionaire by her 30th birthday.

Taylor Swift may have incredible baking skills but she might not be a pro when it comes to using knives in the kitchen! See the photo below of Swift’s bandaged left thumb, and share your thoughts.

The caption was a tongue-in-cheek play on a lyric from her hit Bad Blood, which reads ‘Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes’. Gossip Cop has reached out to her rep for more details, but has yet to hear back.

The number “13” is also prominently drawn onto the gauze in black pen.
