"She is just one of those rare timeless artists who gets it right every time," says fellow pop star Raye. "She's an absolute powerhouse."

Lana Del Rey, who duetted with Swift on the 2022 song Snow On The Beach, has another theory about the star's dominance. "She wants it," the singer told BBC News. "She's told me so many times that she wants it more than anyone. And how amazing - she's getting exactly what she wants.

People in the media need to step outside of their bubbles and realize that pop culture today is not what it was even 10 years ago, let alone in its heyday during the MTV era.
