base talk Is Taylor Stealing the Spotlight from Billie Eilish?

I feel like Billie's music was a phase when I look back at WWFAWDWG some of it is really cringeworthy. I actually liked it when it came out but now I can't really revisit her music and I just can't stand her persona. 

 

She also came in as a more socially conscious and anti popstar but in the end her image changed a lot and I don't think she stayed true to herself.

 

Also her second era was so messy with all the droplets before and no defined aesthetic.

 

I don't think Taylor stole anything, most of her core fanbase has always been with her. Billie's moment just faded and many fans don't relate to her anymore.

the sheep  this just comes off like other people told you billie isn’t cool anymore when she was getting backlash before HTE so you unstanned

 

OT: dumb thread

Umm this is based on my own experience and my own opinion

 

I did not mention the backlash she got and that's not part of why I dislike her music now. I just don't like the sound and lyrics of WWFAWDWG anymore. It aged really badly for me.

 

I actually liked some songs she recently did like the 30th and TV

The last time one of them was relevant was during the Trump administration. So comparison doesn’t really make any sense.

A THIEF!!!

This thread's premise is such clownery when all Taylor does in order to "steal the spotlight from XYZ" is just... releasing music.

There are like 5 other girls above Billie if you exclude Taylor

So i don't get the comparison

How is Taylor stealing the spotlight that was always on her?

Tbh the pandemic low key ended Billie. Those years were supposed to be her empireal phase. By the time the pandemic was over, people had moved on from her and she was seen as a fad. It also didn’t help that she kept changing her image thus losing more fans who no longer identified with her.

Spotlight never stopped shining on Taylor?
