Taylor Swift's accountant probably won't be calming down any time soon: She's just topped Forbes' annual list of top 100 highest-paid stars.

Swift raked in pretax income of $185 million over the past year, marking her most lucrative year yet, according to Forbes. That's up 131% from 2018, when she earned $80 million.

Contributing to her total is her Reputation Stadium Tour, which is the highest-grossing tour in U.S. history, taking in $266.1 million domestically and $345 million overall, according to Forbes. Swift also cashed a check from Netflix to do a live concert special, in addition to her sponsorship deals with AT&T and Diet Coke, according to the magsazine. She may have also been paid for her role in the upcoming film "Cats."

On top of that, Swift's new deal with Universal Music Group’s Republic Records could be worth up to $200 million, sources told Forbes. As part of the deal, if Universal sells its $1 billion stake in Spotify, they're required to share that money with the artists signed to their label...including Swift.
