They repeatedly say "Taylor Swift earns". If they were concerned at all about presenting information properly, they would say "gross income from a Taylor Swift concert". It's outrage clickbait, through and through. While I agree that Swift makes an outrageous amount of money, that outrage should be based on fact, not hyperbole.
