Go Gaga, Britney and Janet! There were some other pretty active female artists these past 12 months, but some of their tours and albums bombed, so they made no money off of it 
Better luck next time, ladies!

How is Taylor that low when she makes that after a couple sold out stadium shows, and her album alone outsold Ariana’s entire era in preorders. Make it make sense 😕

Her tour "just" started, so we might have to wait until next year to truly see her numbers explode. This is from her sales and streaming alone.
It's explained where the money came from under each pic in the article

I know, which is why I'm confused since the estimated tour gross of Reputation for the shows performed are higher than anyone on this list.
Anyway Janet is killing it!

So you don’t think Billboard is credible but a random twitter account called Popcrave is? We all know it’s because Gaga is #1. It’s a mess you didn’t question that random Twitter account that claimed Katy was #1 at all. I mean, that wasn’t Forbes either and yet you accepted that as the truth.
You’re a joke.

Then I stand corrected. But Forbes collects money from all areas, while the Billboard and Boxscore list only collects from music. There's just no discussion that Boxscore and Billboard aren't credible, because that's just delusional. Katy might have made more from other areas such as American Idol, but Gaga made more money from music than Katy. Besides, Forbes does count deals and endorsements from around the world, while this list is US only.
It's a complete joke how you refuse to believe it just because Gaga is #1. And why the hell did you even reply three times? Are you that desperate to prove someone wrong?
