The 2008 Forbes was June 2007 to June 2008 tracking I believe. Therefore B'Day was already ~10 months old and IASF had not been released. Not helping yourself here
No. 25: Bruce Springsteen
At an age when most people are thinking about retiring, Bruce Springsteen makes a return to the FORBES Celebrity 100 after a four-year absence. The boss earned $81 million this year thanks to a tour of some of the biggest stadiums in the world. In January Springsteen released his 18th album, "High Hopes." A first for Bruce -- the album is made up mostly of covers.

This literally makes no sense, she's above him in every category.
They dont show impact, but they measure it too.
Quote:
We measure fame in a variety of ways. We count how many times each celebrity was mentioned in print, on TV and radio. We factor in a score from StarCount for social media power over 11 platforms including Twitter TWTR -1.23%, Facebook and YouTube. This year we’ve also added an impact score, similar to the one we use for our Power Women list. Based on reporting by our editorial staff, the number measures the impact each celebrity has on the entertainment industry and our culture overall. We put all of those numbers into an algorithm to come up with our final list. Justin Bieber had the highest ranking for social networking power but because of his low impact this year, he only ranked 33rd on our list, down from ninth last year.
Taylor gained more followers, views, likes and searches within the period. Unless it's something they're not mentioning it makes no sense how he's THAT ahead of her when they say money is the most important aspect and she outdid him by $4m there.
