If you ask about the Tags column content like this  
 ![image](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/1/0/10bbbf56d0bbd014a55fd3563a3aafd005a4685d.png)

This is showing what exactly was read from your track.  
It depends on the settings I mentionend above.  
For example: If you read APE tags (according to the Read-Section in File -\> Options -\> Tags -\> Mpeg) and such APE tags exists in your track, it will be indicated in the Tags column.  
The same is true for ID3v1 and ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4.

If you see for example  
`APEv2 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3 APEv2)`  
it tells you, that what you currently see on the left side in the Tag Panel is the content of APEv2.  
It also indicates that there is more content in the formats listed in brackets.

If you see `Lyrics3v2`, then Mp3tag informs you, that this tag type is also included in your track.  
Mp3tag currently does NOT SUPPORT this kind of lyrics, only UNSYNCEDLYRICS.  
There are several existing topics about how to remove `Lyrics3v2`, including this one:

> [@Misleading tag abstraction causes release of incorrect metadata](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/misleading-tag-abstraction-causes-release-of-incorrect-metadata/70629/5):
>
> Existence of Lyrics3v2 tags is denoted in the aforementioned "Tag" column in Mp3tag's File List. If you configure Mp3tag to remove all tag formats (incl. ID3v1), it will also remove Lyrics3v2, as it can only exist with an ID3v1 tag present.

and this one:

> [@Misleading tag abstraction causes release of incorrect metadata](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/misleading-tag-abstraction-causes-release-of-incorrect-metadata/70629/6):
>
> With this configuration you can keep your ID3v1 und ID3v2 tags and get rid of the Lyrics3-Tag by Cut & Paste. Mark the file(s) and use CTRL-x to cut the tags and then CTRL-v to paste them again. As Mp3tag does not support Lyrics3 it will not write this tag again with the paste.

I have no idea, because I don't know what other software you use - in addition to MediaMonkey and Mp3tag.
