The world’s highest paid celebrity is…

There’s no “Blank Space” in Taylor Swift’s bank account.

The singer-songwriter tops Forbes’ annual list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities with $170 million.

Swift is ahead of fellow chart-topping pop stars Adele at No. 9 with $80.5 million, Madonna at No. 12 with $76.5 million, Rihanna at No. 13 with $75 million and Katy Perry at No. 63 with $41 million.

The “Shake It Off” crooner’s star-studded “1989 World Tour” earned more than $200 million last year.

Swift’s DJ ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris landed at No. 21 on the magazine’s list with $63 million.

Other top 10 earners included boy band One Direction at No. 2 with $110 million, actor-comedian Kevin Hart at No. 6 with $87.5 million and self-proclaimed “king of media” Howard Stern at No. 7 with $85 million.

Kim Kardashian is featured on the magazine’s cover. She’s No. 42 on the list with $51 million. Forbes says 40 percent of her paycheck this year came from her mobile game “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.”

The game’s maker, Glu Mobile, is scheduled to release an app starring Swift later this year.

    Swift sold her soul to the Luciferian’s very quickly, the money will not stop the torture of burning in hell!

      Everything I’ve heard and read about Taylor Swift indicates that she is one of the cleanest and most intelligent entertainers right now. I probably can’t name 3 of her songs, but lots of younger people can.

    I feel sorry for all these entertainer’s who have sold their eternity for a worthless dollar.
    We need to continue to pray for them all, some have been saved from their mistaken judgement, just like we have who have accepted Jesus as our Master and Savior.
