Katy Perry Performs At David Lynch Foundation Benefit; Named Highest Paid Musician

Katy Perry is one of the biggest music superstars and now she has also been named by Forbes as the highest-paid woman in music. The singer is said to have beaten the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyonce who are dominate personalities with strong fan bases. Perry stands with an estimated earnings of $135m over the last 12 months. It is believed that the majority of Perry’s income has been generated by her monster Prismatic world tour, which spanned 151 dates starting in May 2014 and wrapping up in October 2015.

Recently, Perry was stunning in a figure-forming Yousef Al-Jasmi jumpsuit (with wings) on the red carpet at the Change Begins Within Benefit Gala in N.Y.C. She accessorized the dramatic jumpsuit with a studded black-and-gold belt, a caged diamond Butani finger ring and dazzling gold drop earrings. While we appreciate Perry’s risk-taking ways, we have to admit, this is one of the most polarizing jumpsuits we’ve seen her in, according to People.

Perry performed at David Lynch Foundation’s benefit concert Wednesday evening at Carnegie Hall, which raised money to teach transcendental meditation in New York. A highlight of her five-song set came during “Dark Horse” when a violinist came out to perform with Perry front-and-center, something that brought a newfound epic quality to the track. Her violin solo replaced Juicy J’s rap verse, building and building as Perry watched in awe and occasionally danced before it reached a delightfully overwhelming, beautifully chaotic climax.

She ended the show, predictably, with “Firework” — with some surprise back-up dancers: Four ballerinas, donning baby-pink tutus, emerged at the song’s beginning, instilling the performance with a magical atmosphere that made it feel like a real-life music box, according to EW.
