Taylor Swift named country music's second highest paid artist

Taylor Swift has been named the second highest paid country music artist.

The singer has been out on her massive Red Tour over the last year and endorsement deals with the likes of Diet Coke and CoverGirl have seen Swift cash in.

Forbes estimate that the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' lady has bagged $64 million (£37.8m) over the last year.

She is second place to Toby Keith, who has made a suggested $65 million (£38.4m) this year.

Kenny Chesney is third with $44 million (£26m) whilst Jason Aldean ($37 million/£21.8m) is fourth.

Swift meanwhile released her massive album 'Red' in 2012.
