Of course she could never do all of the stuff herself, but she's still a solo artist and I'm a bit annoyed with how they at times take over

There's much more to a show than dancers and a band anyway, the rest really only get a name in the credits.

If they weren't there to be watched like her, she wouldn't have a band or dancers.... she would sing alone in the stage with pre recorded instrumentals...
And every singer as big as her shows a lot of apreciation for his/her staff... fans of Madonna, Kylie, etc also knows dancers and band members by their names and things like that...

I never said they shouldn't be mentioned, like she does. And they're there to be watched, yea, but I'm talking about an appropriate balance. And imo, they focused a bit too much on them and not enough on her, that's all.
