Taylor Swift tops Billboard's highest-paid singers
The country pop singer Taylor Swift led all artists at nearly $40 million over the last year.
Taylor Swift may have gone home without any Grammy wins this year, but the singer is still the best paid.
Billboard just released its annual list of highest-paid musicians.
The 24-year-old artist tops the list for the second year in a row by bringing in nearly $40 million.
Swift's revenue from six months of touring brought in an estimated $30 million, according to Billboard.
While Swift tops the list, it was also a year in which she gave a lot of it away being named the most charitable celebrity in 2013.
Rounding out the rest of the top 10 were talent ranging from Maroon 5 and Pink to Fleetwood Mac, who returned to touring after nearly a decade.
