Taylor scored her first hit in a decade after Rihanna did charity and gave her, her best selling hit in Europe and highest certified song America since 2014, with TIWYCF. Truly tragic for the supposed “music industry”

We’re really scraping the bottom of barrel here with attempts huh 

[Losing my ground]

How's folklore even comparable to the other eras? Despite all her fans buying the album, it felt like a non-event.

 

Music was consistent.

 

Anti started as a flip and then it bounced back, I vote for it.

So you are basically saying that Taylor performing in front of 3M people had bigger impact on social media than Rihanna performing in front of 120M people? 

 

Maybe she is just not that girl [2]

Taylor manipulating the algorithm, shoving her YEAR LONG tour down everyone’s fyp (20B views) and releasing an album every two business days is going to give her a bigger boost, compared to a one time event which was like 5 months ago.

No it's just that Taylor is the much bigger supertar so her tour gets much more attention than Rihanna SB.

Nothing changed since 2009 I guess, Rihanna always struggled to get attention for her live shows.

Her first hit in a decade? IDWLF was a worldwide smash and YNTCD is nearing 6M units in the US alone  Not to mention she gave Rihanna her actual biggest hit in a decade with her pen

TIWYCF is 8X PLATINUM in the USA and has sold more units in Europe than any Taylor Swift song to date.

TIWYCF is a song written by Taylor Swift. She earned more money from that song than Rihanna did

Anti Hero is bigger in the US than TIWYCF. It's already past 5M units in 9 months

Is there a Taylor Swift live performance with more than 100M let alone 150M views on Youtube? Rihanna has several.

Like how ME! failed against Lil Nas X after she poured all of radio and youtube ad payola into it?

 

Not to forget this frontloaded bomb foaming with Payola:

 

 

Do you want me to send Lift Me Up radio chart run comparable with EOMs while being “just a soundtrack”? 💀

It is called touring demand. I know the concept is hard for you to grasp but you will see that people in the world cares about your fave too when she can tour more than 10 sold out stadium shows globally. 

Who knows, even few videos of her being late to the stage and being lazy can go viral on Tiktok

Coming for the length of tours now  It must really bother you to see The Eras Tour breaking records in every single country and city it visits while Rihanna has never had a massive tour in her 17 year career

Idk, her go girl give us nothing dance moves got a lot of views on social media back in February

5M in 10 months is much more impressive than 8M in 7 years  Stop being dense

This is funny because Rihanna’s superbowl dances were heavily recreated on tiktok. Maybe if Taylor Swift could move a bit and not look stiff all the time, she could also have iconic moments recreated like those. I mean, she doesn’t even have a single iconic or highly viewed live performance. Tragic and talentless all around but at least she can create a word salad out of a thesaurus

Just as long as you leave Queen Madonna out of this, we're good.

Looks like only one of those artists' videos make people want to check the music 

[Raspberries]

Calling Taylor talentless but stanning the woman who cannot sing well, does not write, does not produce, plays 0 instruments, etc. Someone who hates music so much that she would rather play in makeup and lingerie for a decade than be forced to release another album

It’s because the studio versions of Taylor’s songs are somewhat listenable, opposed to the flat and offkey “vocals” in her live performances. No wonder she heavily relies on playback to conceal her monotone and mediocre voice and does not have a single popular live performance

Rihanna doesn't even sing half of her performances. She skips every other word and points her mic to the audience

I can’t believe you are seriously going back and forth with everyone in this thread. If you think Anti/Rih are bigger than folklore/Taylor you are entitled to that opinion. You are just wasting your time going back and forth with these Swifties, just accept your opinion as your own and move on.

 

You’re not going to change their mind any more than they are going to change yours. I promise you are better off letting this go

Unfortunately all of Rihanna's albums will stay below 3M daily streams regardless of Taylor's performing skills

Maybe it is time for another Superbowl performance

Numbers is all you can brag about because you know how talentless and unappealing your fave is on stage. Hopefully Taylor can pull off a superbowl and does not conceal her tragic performing skills with a bunch of props and production, like she always does. It’s not like she can dance or sing live.. maybe she’ll jump around and call it a day.
