Taylor Swift wasn't kidding when she said she doesn't need Apple Music's royalty payments during its free trial period.

The 25-year-old is one half of Forbes' highest-paid couple. Her boyfriend is powerhouse EDM DJ Calvin Harris, who signed a three-year Las Vegas residency earlier this year. Together the two are worth $146 million, according to Forbes.

As a result, Beyonce and Jay Z have lost their crown for the title despite making $110.5 million.

Forbes modified its ranking system this year by accounting for annual income only, which meant only three couples made the list that is to be released Monday, June 29.

A USA Today report scooped the list and reported it, which can be found here.
