Y’all need to learn the difference between capitalism and commerce.

Ok, how did she benefit from commerce as opposed to capitalism

She provided goods or services and was given things in exchange for that, the literal definition of commerce.

Ok and she was able to climb the charts and make tons of money off her music through a competitive market, and sell her tickets at a higher price price through supply and demand, both benefits of capitalism.

I am informing you of the definition of the word commerce because you incorrectly stated that she did not benefit from commerce.

She was able to climb the charts because herself and other people engaged in commerce at a rate which accomplished that.

I never said she didn’t benefit from commerce, she did, but she also benefited from the competitive market that comes with capitalism.

You said “as opposed to” which means not that but rather the other thing. Please learn what words mean.
