Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris have soared to the top of the list of highest-paid celebrity couples in the world, triumphing over power couple Beyonce and Jay Z.
Although the yearly Celeb 100 list that ranks the world’s highest-earning celebrities will be released this Monday (June 29), Forbes has already dropped certain names of celebrity couples who have accumulated the highest income for the past year.
This time, Swift and Harris are estimated to have raked in $146 million between them over the last 12 months. The individual income of each music artist is yet to be announced, but it is expected that the couple will secure a place in the Top 20 when the Celeb 100 is officially released next week.
Meanwhile, Beyonce and Jay Z had slipped to second place with a combined yearly income of approximately $110.5 million. Blue Ivy’s parents were recognized by Forbes as the highest-paid celebrity couple in the past two consecutive years.
Despite an estimated $50 million gap from Beyonce and Jay Z, country singers Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert have placed third in the list with an estimated joint annual income of $57 million.
Earlier this week, Swift announced that she has officially reversed her decision not to stream her most recent album '1989' as the country-singer-turned-pop-star confirmed that Apple Music already has its hands on her record.
Her record-breaking album will now be available on the upcoming streaming service, as the company preps up for its launching next week.
Taking to social media, Swift tweeted: "This is simply the first time it's felt right in my gut to stream my album. Thank you, Apple, for your change of heart."
Recently, Apple made a huge change in their royalty scheme after the company was criticized publicly by the ‘Shake It Off’ singer for not giving compensation to musicians, producers, songwriters or rights holders during Apple Music’s free trial that runs for three months.
After such change, Swift has written that she feels content and at ease in collaborating with Apple Music.
The 25-year-old singer, recognized for her business know-how in the music industry, had previously pulled out '1989' from streaming services, such as Spotify, due to the low profits that it makes for music artists.
