futuresuperstar2023 Posted Thursday at 06:14 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:14 AM What are your thoughts? Do you think she is one now? Do you think she has more years before she become one? What is your overall opinion on her legacy status? This is not a troll thread. I'm doing a poll on another Pop Artist as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaws Posted Thursday at 06:18 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:18 AM She's not and she won't be one. Her legacy will be her forced sales, definitely not her artistry 9 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted Thursday at 06:23 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:23 AM For me she is But her next few albums need to be more focused in artistry and less in commercial success. She can't afford another album like Lover, Midnights or TTPD imo She has Red, 1989, Folklore and Evermore which put her on top. I don't think we can deny her legendary status, but how at this point of her career she is still looking for commercial success while tarnishing the quality needs to be addressed asap.

By the Water Posted Thursday at 06:27 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:27 AM No and she won't become one as long as she doesn't get 5 #1s from one album on my village in Cyprus. The children in here don't even dress up as her for Halloween and she has no iconic fashion moments 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about Taylor Swift is that she has longevity and has been consistent and never fell off. I don't care for her like that but can't act as if she hasn't been doing numbers for years. It is what is at this point. She is definitely going to be remembered but I don't know if she is going to be respected like that down the line for decades to come. I feel that way about other pop artist as well tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is definitely a legend now, her longevity is insane. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devin Posted Thursday at 06:46 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:46 AM she is NOT a legend lol. the numbers might look good on paper but she a plain jane white girl with above avg songwriting skills. she has limited impact on society + she barely has any classics that stand the test of time. mb in 20 years she will become one. 2 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAg Posted Thursday at 07:26 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:26 AM she's an icon I don't personally think she's reached legend status cause she keeps shooting herself in the foot if we're being honest. she could've doubled down on the Folkmore experimentation and become a musical legend super quickly. she had already achieved pop icon status by that point and I genuinely believe that her fans would've stuck with her through any experimentation by then, but as someone else said in the other thread (shoutout to you!! whoever you are lol whoops) I do believe that she reverted back to the safe milquetoast sound zone for Midnights and (most of) TTPD because she knew it'd do better on the charts. a shame really. idk, I think she could've gone full on The Joshua Tree or My December at that point but nah she went back to—my personal least favorite—her synthpop iteration 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad guy Posted Thursday at 07:59 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:59 AM Outside of sales what exactly does Taylor bring to the table? Is Garth Brooks a legend then? Until she impacts music in a real way I'd say no. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
