    Prepare yourself for some mind-blowing annual incomes.

    Forbes has released their list of the highest paid women in music for 2018.

    The list is calculated using pre-tax earnings from June 1, 2017, through June 1, 2018, before deducting fees for agents, managers, lawyers and estate executors.

    Back in 2015, Katy Perry appeared on the cover of Forbes after earning $135 million in a single year.

    Three years later, and she’s taken the top spot as the highest paid woman in music again, raking in $83 million during Forbes’ scoring period.

    One of the hardest-working names on the list, Perry played 80 dates of her Witness: The Tour in Forbes‘ June-to-June timeframe, grossing over $1 million per night.

    She also managed to find time to serve as a judge on ABC’s American Idol reboot, reportedly earning north of $20 million for her troubles.

    Taylor Swift ranks second with $80 million. After a brief hiatus last year, she launched her new album Reputation.

    As an aside, the title track on that album, ‘Reputation’, might be the worst thing I’ve ever heard. Ever. Despite this, the album sold two million copies worldwide in its opening week.

    Beyoncé rounds out the top three, pulling in $60 million.

    After she and husband Jay-Z welcomed twins Rumi and Sir to the family in June 2017, Queen Bey had a quiet year, by her standards, until delivering a groundbreaking performance at Coachella this spring and dropping a joint album with Jay-Z in June.

    Her and Jay-Z’s On The Run II will be reflected in the next scoring period, as will Taylor Swifts Reputation tour.

    Of course, making music isn’t the only way these musicians are making bank. Lady Gaga (No. 5, $50 million) added “movie star” to her résumé this year, thanks to a critically acclaimed turn in A Star Is Bornalongside Bradley Cooper.

    Rihanna (No. 7, $37.5 million) is cashing in on Fenty Beauty and Savage Lingerie, and although she hasn’t been on tour since 2016, Rihanna stays in the public eye with starring roles in films like Ocean’s 8.

    Here’s the full list of top achievers:

    1. Katy Perry ($83 million)

    2. Taylor Swift ($80 million)

    3. Beyoncé ($60 million)

    4. Pink ($52 million)

    5. Lady Gaga ($50 million)

    6. Jennifer Lopez ($47 million)

    7. Rihanna ($37.5 million)

    8. Helene Fischer ($32 million)

    9. Celine Dion ($31 million)

    10. Britney Spears ($30 million)

    Ha. I wasn’t expecting Britney to appear on that list – is she even still a thing?
