Swifties will always babble on about ReLaTaBiLiTy!!11! and then act surprised when a billionaire popstar acts... like a billionaire popstar.

These people are NOT our friends.

Even if you ignore Beyonce talking about "controversial stuff" in her lyrics, she also takes risks with her sound. Taylor could never do this, she's safe, she needs to be played as the background music in a McDonald's ad, appeal to everyone.

How is taylor safe? She sings about sexy babies, tattooed golden retrievers, drugs, etc.

They both take themselves very seriously but Beyonce takes herself beyond seriously to the point where there's literally no fun. What she puts out is way too try-hard and yes in many instances simply just not good. Taylor is at least an artist even tho a weak one because she creates her own art while Beyonce relies on hundreds of ppl to create hers and I believe that since Taylor is more in control is very good at being the captain of her career and will always prevail.

For her most recent album cycles, Beyoncé's music has had very specific sound to it that has made her somewhat more of an acquired taste.

 

Taylor's style is more mass market. I've said before she has a young-adult-fiction quality to her writing, and that's something that appeals to a very large crowd.

There's nothing kid friendly about Folklore 

Just cause she threw in some big words doesn't mean those lyrics aren't for kids :thing:

So then those people can just..... stan Taylor or KPoppers if that's what they're looking for? :huh:

 

Why would Beyoncé need to change her approach to appease those people when she already has a strong fanbase?

Clearly not strong enough otherwise they'd be buying her albums

Because Beyonce is a cultural icon and has had a significant cultural impact. People don't have to buy the music for it to be talked about and discussed

 

Taylor is not (or if you want to argue about that she is comparatively smaller). There's really not much to talk about when it comes to her outside of her success

Taylor is the biggest female artist in the world, why would Beyonce sell as much? :rip:

You are right, no one ever talks and discusses Taylor swift.

Taylor is white & mediocre which attracts a big following under the guise of 'relatability' that + having a family friendly image and plain, inoffensive songs that can be easily consumed makes her a commercial juggernaut

They are. You're acting like she's selling 4k rather than 400k+

 

Not every artist is gonna sell millions of records first week nor do they need to. The amount of artists who do can be counted on one hand.

 

You're putting too much importance on numbers. I promise you Beyoncé doesn't care half as much as YOU do about HER sales. Now that's what's sad.

Why do the Beyonce and Taylor fans allow these gays to create stupid, meaningless, boring threads over and over and you guys always fall for it?

 

Not to mention you guys repeat the same things over and over.

 

Are you not bored?

Sure but her music isn't consistently political like Beyoncé's is.

 

Sexual innuendo lyrics in her songs like Dress doesn't evenly closely compare to Beyoncé's half naked album cover shoots, and Beyoncé's partition…  come on now.

Because Beyoncé's music isn't actually as big and culture-shifting as buzzfeed and Twitter want you to think it is 

What is culture shifting about ex boyfriend songs being pasted on every album?

Taylor is more relatable, people of all ages can relate to her not just girls and young women. Beyonce is too private for people and barely has any personality to relate to her. 

How is Taylor relatable to you Josh, you got a lot of exes you cry about? 
 

OP. Taylor plays it safe, she is like PG Disney and we know the other reason.
