TAYLOR Swift has shaken off some of showbiz’s biggest names to become Forbes’ highest-paid celebrity this year, raking in an astonishing $170 million.

Not only has the singer, 26, got the healthiest bank balance in Hollywood, she also managed to pip two ex-boyfriends to the pay-cheque post.

Harry Styles and One Direction came in at number two, raking in $110 million, while Calvin Harris came in at 21 with an impressive $63 million, on the magazine’s rich list.

Taylor can thank her world tour last year, which saw a host of famous faces share the stage with her and pulled in more than £200 million.

She is also 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.
