So we're adjusting Taylor's album sales but not adjusting touring despite it inflating massively over a decade after Britney's career started? Funny how math works for you guys

If we're comparing albums or singles, Taylor dominates according to BB all time charts.
If we're comparing tours Taylor dominates according to pollstar and billboard
If we're comparing awards, because the Grammys and MC show Taylor wins
I honestly don't get why this is a question. Once you take into account sales decline Taylor dominates. And even without it she still wins with her massive tours.

1. Forbes is not official and determines how much money goes in to an artist's bank account. Not how much their career has grossed.
2. The BB All-time charts are inverse-chart points. According to those charts, Led Zeppelin IV, a 23x Platinum album, is only 4 spots higher than In Through the Out Door, a 6x Platinum FLOP for Led Zeppelin. It is 9 spots below Houses of the Holy, an 11x Platinum album, and 38 spots behind Led Zeppelin II, a 12x Platinum album. Stop clinging to that awful chart
3. Nobody is arguing that Taylor isn't bigger in touring.
4. Awards have nothing to do with commercial success. The most awarded Grammy artist female, Alison Krauss, is not among the top 100 most commercially successful female artists in the U.S.
It isn't a question. Britney is bigger but Taylor will surpass her in an era or two.
A Jazz album? If her and her label are calling it a country album, it's a country album. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, sometimes it's just a duck.
