Disconnect Posted April 9 Posted April 9 Her legacy honestly is: having been able to unite a fanbase like nobody had ever seen before, at least on this century. It is also motivating artists to create their own music and stay true to their guts in spite of industry pressure and demands.

Even "Work *****" is iconic. Cant believe this isn't satire OT: Her unrivaled commercial success in every facet of music, her influence on the business practices of the music industry and inspiring an entire generation of singer-songwriters 1 1 2

Setting back all the progress Madonna made for women to be bold, because her entire reason for success is being as palatable and non offensive as possible. Nicki Minaj sits at her vanity

Like you can still have a lower units and still be a legend but when you reached 200m units, you are certified legend legend. 1
Strawberry Bubble Posted April 10 Posted April 10 (edited) Her legacy is proving her ability to disrupt the music industry by reclaiming her own work, overshadowing one of the most influential figures in music, Scooter Braun, to regain control of her music. Edited April 10 by Strawberry Bubble

No one collectively decided that's the benchmark to automatically become a legend. First, she has like 13 albums and still counting not to mention streaming has made it infinitely easier to reach "units.” Second, people like drake or garth have or could reach that number and they aren't considered legends.

Taylor's legendary status is because of her immense talent and incomparable accolades with a flawless critically acclaimed discography to boot. She never needed the once-in-a-generation kind of success to reach that status like you are implying. And yes you are right, talentless popstitutes like the one in your avi will never be considered a legend no matter how much albums she sold in 2001 to little kids and pedophiles because she has nothing else going on for her (no talent, no accolades and being PANNED everywhere in every field). 1 1

If streaming make it easier to pull this off so why no one even comes close except for Taylor and Drake. Drake havent got to that mark yet but if he does he will be a rap legend. He is kinda one now. Garth Brooke no where near 200m mark so dont know why you use hin as an example.

Taking singer-songwriter's possibility of success to the next level and popularizing the autofiction/autobiographical/nonfiction aspect of songwriting in the 21st century. She could be very much studied beside Ferrante, Ernaux, Ditlevsen and other women writing in a contemporary/post modern setting (hence the many college courses about her writing). If Dylan is a Literature Nobel winner... 1

MatiRod Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) There are many things to list obviously but some that come to mind: - Single-handedly discovering an enormous and untapped market for young girls in country music that want to listen to other young girls like herself and maaaaany careers were created as a result, she pretty much invented a whole new template for a star in modern country. People forget now but when she first came out she was an anomaly in country, the genre skewed way older then. - Propelling a string of country crossover smashes in the 2010s after pop largely abandoned attempts to cross over hits by the late 2000s (this rarely gets mentioned but I don't think "Need You Now", "If I Die Young", and others would've happened as big as they did without the Fearless era) - Creating an entire generation of guitar-based female singer-songwriters across the English-speaking world (and beyond!) who cite her as a major inspiration and whose influence in their music is evident. I would add to this that there's a whole kind of storytelling focused singer songwriter music that she's influenced and is now one of the genres du jour for new artists to follow. There are a tooon of popular artists now who are basically cosplaying the Red era minus the Max songs, no shade. - Bringing issues of royalty payments, ownership of work, and other industry issues to the forefront in the name of being fairer to artists and causing actual change in the industry as a result - I think an underrated one to list is that she is the first woman since Madonna really to be THEE undisputed champ of the music industry (and now arguably entertainment industry as a whole) in a still very dominated by men behind the scenes industry, her persona has come to represent POWER and that is always incredibly impactful for a woman to represent that on the world stage in culture - She's kind of one of the modern representations of America at this point, for good or bad because America occupies a special place in the world's imagination since the 20th century. It's like every few decades there is an American star that just captures the world's imagination, Marilyn, Elvis, MJ, and now it's her. She is on the Mount Rushmore of modern American culture at this point. Edited April 11 by MatiRod 4
