10 Highest-Earning Female Artists in 2015
It has to be Taylor Swift, right?
There"s no way any other artist earned more money in 2015, right?
Well… maybe. Courtesy of Forbes, here is a look at the 10 highest-earning women in music over the past calendar year, in reverse order.
Ready to see who sits on top? The answer may surprise you…
10. Rihanna: $ 26 million
She didn’t release an album and she only played nine live events. So it’s actually impressive she even cracked the Top 10.
9. Mariah Carey: $ 27 million
This is all about Mariah Carey’s Las Vegas residency. She’ll be doing it again in 2016, so we might as well put her on next year’s list as well.
8. Miranda Lambert: $ 28.5 million
Lambert made money off partnerships with Red55 Wine, Pink Pistol and Dixie Darlin, along with her own line of clothing and pet accessories.
7. Jennifer Lopez: $ 28.5 million
She only played five shows, but she raked it in as judge on American Idol and also acted in The Boy Next Door.
6. Britney Spears: $ 31 million
he collaborated with Iggy Azalea, but this figure almost entirely stems from her Las Vegas residency. Britney also cashes in on The Intimate Britney Spears, a lingerie line that sells around the world.
5. Beyonce
Endorsement deals with Pepsi, L’Oréal and her own Heat fragrance padded Beyonce’s bank account this year. She also toured with husband Jay Z.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton: Just How Serious Is It?!?
We apologize, Carson Daly.
And consider yourself warned: you may not want to hear about them, but we’re about to talk more about Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton…
The pop star herself released a statement on Wednesday afternoon, confirming she is officially dating Shelton and has been for a little while now.
“Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating,” a rep for the female artist said.
But what, exactly, does this mean? How serious are things between The Voice panelists?
Are they having sex? Probably. Stefani recently called Shelton hot, implying that she’s possibly seen him naked.
Meanwhile, here are two new pieces of information we’ve learned since Stefani and Shelton outed themselves as a couple:
- They’ve written a country song together. According to a People Magazine insider, the track has yet to be cut, but it centers on telling a lover to leave the relationship if that is what he or sge truly wants.
- Shelton and Stefani visited the former’s home state of Oklahoma. The trip took place a few weeks ago, on October 26, and that’s when the above selfie was snapped
Before you think this means Shelton and Stefani have been knocking proverbial boots for longer than they’ve let on, consider this twist:
Adam Levine joined them for this trip. It may not have been romantic in nature.
But the singers were spotted at a Country Music Awards after-party late Wednesday night.
Cameras captured Blake and Gwen holding hands (!!!!) while entering the Warner Brothers party held at Warner Brothers Music in Music Square, Nashville around 12:15 a.m.
What does all this mean? Only very positive things, according to Shelton himself.
“Awesome night tonight. So many great things happening in my life,” he Tweeted after the CMAs.
We’re very sorry, Miranda Lambert. But we might as well fit Stefani for an engagement ring at this point.
