Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris Net Worth: New Couple Dethroned Power Couple, How Much Are They Worth Combined? [PHOTOS]

New couple Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris, a singer/producer, songwriter and DJ have slid into the top spot with combined earnings of $146 million over the last year, according to Forbes.

They have officially dethroned power couple Beyonce and Jay Z as the world's highest paid celebrity couple.

Forbes teased the “world’s highest paid celebrities” as a part of their rollout of the upcoming annual Celebrity 100, which will be published June 29.

Swift and Harris earned $35.5 million more than Bey and Jay Z, who came in second with $110.5 million over the past year thanks in part to ticket sales from their collaborative On the Run tour.

In third place is Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, with combined earnings of $57 million.

Taylor's earnings over the last year are boosted by her successful much-awaited fifth studio album, "1989," which debuted in October 2014.

Her album sold 1.287 million copies in one week, the highest selling album since 2002.

The 25-year-old hitmaker is currently embarking on her 1989 world tour, with the secondary price of tickets averaging $315.41, according to Forbes.

Furthermore, Taylor has endorsement deals with Diet Coke, Keds and Sony, while the 31-year-old superstar DJ works with Giorgio Armani and Sol Republic headphones.

Calvin released his fourth studio album, Motion, in October 2014, with 35,000 copies sold in its first week.

Meanwhile, Taylor has made waves within the music industry by persuading Apple to compensate artists for plays of their songs during a three month free trial of their new streaming service, Apple Music.

The chart-topper wrote an open letter to the technology giant, advocating on behalf of her fellow musicians.

Apple responded by agreeing to compensate artists during the free trial period, tweeting: #AppleMusic will pay artist for streaming, even during customer's free trial period. We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple'

Taylor has finally agreed to allow Apple Music to stream her 1989 album.

Calvin took to Twitter to congratulate his girlfriend after performing at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas over the weekend.

The proud boyfriend wrote: "I just played a gig inside a giant owl and my girl just changed the entire music industry what a day."
