The 1 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 These hoes are pointing out that Taylor's race is the reason she sells so much. If that is the reason, why don't Gaga, Katy, Dua, Selena, Ariana, etc. sell as much? 1 1
Josh Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Just now, Shelter said: 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. How is Beyonce relatable to you Shelter? got a sister who beat the **** out of your husband? 2 1
The 1 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Just now, Aribiotch. said: Taylor is a white woman… you're fave is white too but she can't sell that much. 1
WildAmerican Posted April 18 Posted April 18 bc she's not as popular... Bey has an excellent PR/media machine that makes it seem like she's at Taylor's level when that's simply not the case 1
Aribiotch. Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Just now, The 1 said: you're fave is white too but she can't sell that much. And what does that have to do with the question at hand? The OP said why Beyoncé doesn't sell as much as Taylor right? I answered.
Jacobdaniel Posted April 18 Posted April 18 taylor plays it safe so she can relate to a broader base. beyonce is a risk-taker 3

If race is the reason then all white woman should be selling more than Beyonce, according to your logic 2 1
Rotunda Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I mean, the simple answer is that they've been dealt different cards and they're choosing to play their cards differently. I don't know if Bey ever would have been as big as Taylor is now, but I think there's a few things that play a part in Bey's current status. 1. Musical Direction - If Bey had stayed in IASF mode longer, she probably would have continued to stay in Middle America's good graces in the 2010s, but she's largely avoided covering the same ground that gave her some of her biggest hits. 2. Racial Polarization - The mid 2010s saw a statistically proven decline in race relations, and Bey using that time period to be her most politically conscious and pro-Black firmly alienated her from some conservative audiences. 3. Tidal - well…you know 4. Values - Taylor and Bey both clearly care about their legacy, but I think they understand their legacy in different ways. I think Bey wants to be thought of the same way that legends in the past used to be, so she's more likely to put her nose up at stuff she thinks is beneath what people who do back in the day of real legends. Taylor instead seems like she's trying to mold the industry in her image and show a new approach to being a great. 5
Navyboy20 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Beyonce: *Drops back to back albums with no music videos, interviews or live performances* ATRL: Why isn't she selling as much as iHeartTaylor?!?!? 2 2 1
Trent W Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Because Taylor is white and het music is more accessible And also it doesn't matter how liberal Taylor has become, she still has conservatives in her side because they see themselves in her, mostly gays and women obviously. This doesn't take anything from Taylor since no other white woman is as successful as she is in this era But compared to someone as brilliant as Beyonce, race and relateability plays a huge huge factor 2

Doogle Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Because Taylor appeals more to the average Joe. Like it's not hard 1
verzden Posted April 18 Posted April 18 When will Taylor Sing, Dance, Perform as good as Bey? If sales are all you have then you can keep it. 1
Donquizote Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Beyonce is all about smoke and mirror Taylor is a talented singer songwriter who knows how to harness her talent to connect with audience. Something that Beyonce will never have 1 2

Aribiotch. Posted April 18 Posted April 18 (edited) 4 minutes ago, The 1 said: If race is the reason then all white woman should be selling more than Beyonce, according to your logic Uhm no. Taylor and Beyoncé are arguably the top 2 of the biggest Artists in the world and the only women who are close to the same level as far as celebrity. So it's a much more valid comparison. Ariana debuted in 2013 and they are not her peers. Again your deflecting, I answered the question the OP asked. You don't like it , move tf on. Edited April 18 by Aribiotch.

Saying the reason Taylor sells because she is white but other white pop stars can't even cross 500k is delusional.
