swissman Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Teenage Dream is the most iconic of them all, and by a large margin. I mean California Gurls alone achieved that both visually and sonically. Teenage Dream is also the one with the best visuals, though I'm not sure I'd say "best" but more like... they were all kind of events in their own right. At the time Katy was great at fully realizing thematic videos and they all are incredibly big budget and memorable. As for singles, Loud takes that for sure. Rihanna just has a knack for not having songs sound dated or tacky/trendy years later. Instead they carry a sheen that prevents them from this.

halcyonday Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Loud is forgotten. For success/longevity: Teenage Dream = 1989 >>>>> Loud Personal preference: Teenage Dream > 1989 >>>>>>>>>>>>> Loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael196 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 1989 aged the best out of all of them, while it may be "more recent", it's having way better current stats than the other two at this point in their run, let alone now... also as a body of work, it's not even a competition... as for visuals, all of them got great one but it goes like this, 1989>>>>>Loud>>>Teenage Dream for singles it goes for Loud since it got 5/7 that aged well, while 1989 got 3/7 and TD 2/7 & 2/9 if we include the complete confection...

OT: It’s kinda funny how stan forums/twitter used to say Katy has done nothing iconic or memorable back in the day but nowadays Teenage Dream basically stands for that time in music and for perfect bubblegum-ish pure pop songs, not to speak of the influence Teenage Dream has on the visuals in todays industry. Truly a legendary era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotham Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Teenage Dream for all of them except visuals, where 1989 takes the cake. I love the aesthetic that Taylor went with in 1989 and I can't wait to see her explore it again in TV. I love Loud but it seems so forgotten compared to the other two unfortunately.

raven Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I feel like as a whole 1989 wins as an album but in terms of singles it goes: TD > LOUD > 1989. And TD wins when it comes to visuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles. Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 1989 is the most iconic. Visuals and singles are a matter of personal taste. For me it’s Taylor, then Rihanna, then Katy for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
