vale9001 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) wow never discussed things. Anyway talking about just musical career 1) Taylor (cause her peak it's like 2008-2023 now lol) 2 Gaga ........ Britney. Gaga and Taylor are iconic as songwriters and musicians...britney was a big cultural icon but it's more remembered for that than for her discography.

GraceRandolph Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Gaga, because she actually differentiated herself from the mono-culture norm unlike the other two. 1 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheep Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Commercially Taylor Swift is raking in billions of dollars. Culturally all 3 summoned an army of copycats out of nowhere, but Britney's copycats lasted the longest so her I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klein Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Commercially, it's definitely Taylor. She's moving more units than the other two ever could and is having the biggest tour in history. Culturally, I'd give it to Gaga. The end of monoculture inevitably prevents Taylor from having the same reach (though she pretty much maxed out what can be reached in the current era), and I didn't really experience Britney's peak so I might not really fathom the heights it went to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoganai Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Commercially Taylor and culturally Gaga. Britney could be too but not by her choice, the press and all the parasites around her made her life a much-talked infamous hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaria Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Gaga and I won’t accept any other answer, I don’t care how many units Taylor moved in a single calendar year. Gaga’s peak felt enormously ubiquitous she was such a force 6 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladiator Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) The answer is obviously Taylor although I think Gaga made more cultural impact during her peak. Edited September 1, 2023 by Gladiator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelios Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Taylor for both easily. The Gaga phenomenon fizzled out extremely fast Edited September 1, 2023 by Axelios 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleGuy Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Britney's peak is a level of fame that had not been reached before and will never be reached again. It's not even debatable on a cultural level. For commercial success it has to be Taylor just given the back to back to back to back smashes with every album, the tour, and now the movie. 9 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most here don’t even know how Britney was during her hey days! I swear I see this poll every 2nd week. But, to each their own. All 3 have always been important figures.
