Taylor seems much much bigger but without any massive classic tunes that everybody likes, which Britney did have

The amount of people that saw Gone With By Wind

Eminem easily.

Nigga sold 20+ million albums worldwide back to back and had a movie that outgrossed Space Jam at the box office.

Peak Eminem was on another level even though Taylor is easily bigger now.

Maybe it's cause my listening habits have become much more insulated than they were in Britney's prime but i can only name one Taylor song. i could name at least half a dozen Britney. don't doubt that the craft is there or whatever but she doesn't seem to be touching Britney's run of iconic pop classics.

Everybody and their auntie was buying Eminem's albums and knew he was special. I see more people annoyed by Taylors ubiquitousness than dazzled by her talents.

I'm on Bumble and quite a few Indian and Hispanic girls love Taylor tbh.

well youd definitely recognize a few more than youd be able to name at least. is Shake It Off the only one you can name? We are never ever getting back together?

and yeah maybe does depend on listening habits. environment, radio too i guess. i was surprised both my parents were able to recognize like 10+ of the big Taylor hits and its not like they even had a daughter to expose them to it or anything. just the gradual hugeness for such a long time

Taylor is also midway between being a singles artist and album artist, where there are plenty huge hits but the big fans still gravitate towards the whole albums

Would you consider them white washed? You can like Taylor Swift and not be white washed btw.

Not sure tbh.

I think Taylor definitely has a bigger machine working for her, but that’s half because the music industry is so much bigger than it was in the early 00s. Her marketing is always at 100

Yeah Shake It Off the only one and I haven't actually heard it much, just aware of it. Lorde, Lana, Billie etc all had songs I heard all over the place but I've never noticed Taylor

Yes… but people also like her and she’s very popular across many different races

Both are true

Lowkey

I mean peak Brittany was a monster

Never said they didn't?

yes

Taylor Swift sold out Soldier Field 3x back to back to back. I'd be a fool to say nobody actually likes her

Britney made better music for what it’s worth

Lmfao

no

only in cup size

Y'all just being delusional/stuck in the past honestly and I hate defending Taylor.

She is selling like 20x more physical albums than anyone else right now. Britney was never dominating her peers like THAT, let alone consistently after almost 20 years of doing it.

Taylor going into her third decade (2000s, 2010s, 2020s) as the biggest artist in the world.

She selling out damn movie theaters with a tour, has sold out stadiums in every continent, can release an album from 10 years ago all over again and doing 1 million pure first week. Britney was never doing any of that.

She is the the closest example to success back then 'when you had to go out and buy stuff' and her numbers objectively putting Britney's to shame. At this point Taylor will still be 50 years old pulling huge numbers because she knew how to market herself long term and not rely on selling s***or having disposable/trendy radio music which is usually what hurts artists when they get older.

yes
