byzantium Posted Thursday at 01:10 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:10 PM By 2015 it was clear that she was on track to be a legend. By 2020 it was clear that she was a legend By 2024 it's clear that only people arguing in bad faith would deny it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on the line Posted Thursday at 01:11 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:11 PM Yes. Eras Tour cemented her legend status. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruel Summer Posted Thursday at 01:23 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:23 PM Yes. I believe she sealed that deal as far back as when Folklore released; everything since then has just been repeated confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StonedSoulPicnic Posted Thursday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:32 PM Legends via commercial success: Celine Dion, Neil Diamond, Kylie Minogue, et al. Legends via artistic significance: Joni Mitchell, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Robert Johnson, et al. Some artists are in both categories. Taylor Swift is in the first one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marry The Gods Posted Thursday at 01:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 01:42 PM She doesn't FEEL like a legend despite her success and achievements. ACTUAL musical legends include: Michael Jackson, Patti Labelle, Barbra Streisand, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Beyonce, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Carole King, Aretha Franklin, and many more who are more talented than Taylor Swift. Some of the legends didn't need to write their own songs. Their voice alone blows all of Taylor's limited talents out of the water 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted Thursday at 02:09 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:09 PM Taylor Swift, the musician, is a legendary artist. I don't get the confusion. I can bet on anything you want that artists who would have the same career as her would be deemed as legends too. Let's be honest here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poncho Barlliams Posted Thursday at 02:14 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:14 PM She will be an American legend due to her sales, outside the USA she is nobody when the numbers run out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be thanking no one is pulling up streams yet cause.... We'll see how many still listen or remember those "classics". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the numbers are doing pretty well for her atm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futuresuperstar2023 Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 10:02 PM 11 hours ago, Julián said: They probably think Formation is a "hit that stood the test of time" OT: Yes. The Eras Tour has solidified her as one. She started going in that territory when she released Folklore and took home AOTY for that. Legend! Don't start because Beyonce has crazy in love, Single ladies and halo. What Taylor song will people think about in the future lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
