Superstar TAYLOR SWIFT has topped Billboard?s list of the highest paid musicians of 2015. The ?Shake It Off? star has earned $73.5 million from album sales, streaming and publishing revenue and her 1989 world tour ? almost double the fortune amassed by country star Kenny Chesney, who is a distant second with $39.8 million, while The Rolling Stones come in a close third with $39.6 million. It has been a good year for Taylor, who won three Grammy Awards in February for Best Music Video, Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year. She was also was named one of the 2015 Time 100 by editors at Time magazine and will be honored with the first Taylor Swift Award at the BMI Pop Awards later this month. She said, ?This is the first time in 10 years that I haven?t known (what I?m going to do next). I just decided that after the past year, with all of the unbelievable things that happened, I decided I was going to live my life a little bit without the pressure on myself to create something."
