I love Taylor but her storytelling & influence is not just matched but also surpassed by artists like Lana & Lorde? So it's not unmatched...

[Kiss It Better]

her ability to sell albums (especially physical copies like vinyls) even in the streaming era that no one else could

[KatyPrismSpirit]

her commercial performance in the music industry

the dedication of the swifties

the eras tour

her ability to change aesthetics and sounds each album / re-inventing herself

OT: Were you in a coma through all of 2023?

[YellowRibbon]

Bringing back the importance of owning your art.

 

Inspiring new artists through her diaristic songwriting style.

 

Making ATRL gays pressed.

 

Writing Maroon.

[dussel_06]

Well for starters, she's the reason why most popstars nowadays shamelessly insert themselves on the songwriters credits.

Taylor started the "I write my own songs" selling narrative then became the biggest popstar of her generation. Nobody cares about songwriting before her. But now, everybody wants to be her.

[CécredSpaces]

Inspiring a new generation of white women to be toxic online and in real life, making lies about exes, editing videos and pictures to make false narratives about said exes, and sending death threats and harassing people associated with the ex, including family, friends and colleagues. All the while dropping more "Easter eggs" to encourage it more without actually saying it and without being held accountable for it.
