Another katycat hiding behind Taylor... Since 2014 you've dressed up as arianators, then Dua Lipa fans, and now you're playing swifties...

 

 

Don't y'all get tired of this pilgrimage? 

Y'all can keep arguing over whatever it is you are arguing over but what you will not do is try it with one of the absolute best Swiftie on this website.

Even if Taylor was to update hers Rihanna wouldn't be far behind.

 

And Rihanna stomps on Taylor worldwide so there's that.

HELPPP this is not the discourse you want to have. Swifties stop undermining African countries challenge!

Who is undermining countries that don't have any measurable music market?

Why's Katy Perry not included? She's one of the original MPGs? Why are we ignoring her? 

Because her fans now play swifties, they are success leeches, as soon as one female artist flops, they jump on the next one's neck.

Taylor would be ahead of Rihanna and the gap would only continue to grow, not to mention how many of Rihanna's are quick singles and not the actual albums

Pretty sure Rihanna has multiple albums that have sold more and have more and bigger hits than both. Not really sure what you're going for here?

Just like 1989, Fearless and Red did, they are also shaping up to end up bigger than Rihanna's biggest album unfortunately

We know for a fact that Rihanna sold out multiple stadium dates in South Africa and broke records while doing it and the swifties choose to ignore that because it's an African country where only Tina Turner, Rihanna and Lady Gaga have toured as major international acts. But you make a very interesting point about measurable markets I'll remember this when swifties start claiming Asian countries that don't have that

Thank you to Max Martin, Rihanna and Calvin Harris for giving Taylor Swift her last few global hits

Most of Taylor's are singles too. What's your point?

That user was pointing out you guys having a circle jerk over Rihanna having the biggest female show there - and it was later discovered that her only competitor was Gaga. That made it funny that it was even brought up in the first place. It was made even funnier by the fact that the Rihanna fans bragging about it all disappeared as soon as it was pointed out

So we should credit the entire cities' worth of people who write and produce Rihanna's music for her since she is involved in none of the creation of each song she records?

How is this a kii? It’s more of the fact that your  “global” “music industry” of a fave couldn’t tour there, just like how she couldn’t tour in the majority of europe until this year

One could argue that song is the reason Taylor is finally able to tour Europe because it was crickets prior to that. Thank you, Queen Rihanna

Anecdotes? 

 

Literally everything I mentioned is a fact. 

 

By the end of 2019, Rihanna had 254M streams on anghami, taylor had 200M.

 

Also she has the most followers:

 

Rihanna is also the most played artist on Boomplay, the biggest streaming service in Western Africa. 4x more than Taylor who isnt even top 5.

 

 

Here are the receipts for the mawazeen festival:

 

150K crowd - https://www.mtv.com/news/w0yju9/rihanna-kicks-off-moroccos-mawazine-global-music-fest

 

You can look up the South African tour dates yourself.

Red would only be bigger than Loud or GGGB thanks to ChartMasters lol. Y'all cry about UWC but a stan-ran website is where you throw your nets in?

She updates her certs very, very frequently. Much more frequently than Taylor despite Taylor's catalog being consumed exponentially more

It's just bizarre. 

Anything to make Gaga look as if she's flopping at the bottom when she's the only one among MPGs with a successful career within the music and FILM industry at the same time with an academy award win.

Her touring stats alone stomps on many gurls but we all know how this site works lmao.
