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.

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

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."
