Forbes has announced its list of the 2016 highest paid women in the music industry, and Taylor Swift finds herself squarely on top. The “Welcome To New York” singer earned a whopping $170 million, mostly from her 1989 World Tour. Commercials for Diet Coke, Keds and Apple TV added to her tally.

Katy Perry, who topped the list in 2015, fell to fifth place. Adele came in a distant second with $80 million, with Madonna earning a spot at number 3 and Rihanna at number 4.
