I would add Harry Styles and BTS to this list. My parents may have never heard a BTS song but they have heard of the name BTS.

I agree :giraffe:

I swear Britney fans live in another dimension. Amy Winehouse, Gaga, Bieber, Adele and Taylor are there.

I love how the years pass by and this fanbase remains consistent with the craziness and delusion

Monoculture discourse is just old people inventing excuses as to why their nostalgia is more important than current events. Infinity War/Endgame was the biggest film. The Eras Tour is the biggest tour of all time by any metric. Barbenheimer was a year ago. 

 

There have been media events that completely take over the zeitgeist in the past 5 years.

 

Britney is iconic but there have been bigger names since and that's okay, it doesn't make Britney any less successful or beloved.

"there have been bigger names" there's POSSIBLY been one and it's Taylor this site has has honestly gone to proper ****

Drake Eminem BTS and Rihanna are above her for units too using chartmasters formula. I like Britney far more than any of those artists and chartmasters isn't perfect but some of them are way ahead of her.

 

Britney was always a much bigger celebrity than her actual singles/albums moved after oidia. It still puts Britney above other legends like Adele Ariana Gaga Beyonce. No hate just facts. Britney is a living legend and none of this takes away from that. :gaycat1:

No, but I would make an argument that she was the last superstar who people emulated. In the sense that girls wanted wanted be like her, people had Britney memorabilia, that kind of thing.

Lady Gaga had the world on LOCK with her two first eras. 

 

And Taylor literally is obliterating right now with her cult. 
 

So no.

ATRL's dedication to living in a late 00's/early 10's bubble has to be commended, you have to admit. :dies:
 

OT: Not at all. Taylor is quite literally the biggest artist of the last 25 years, and has long since checked all of the boxes of 'criteria' (and then some) listed in the OP. She's been bigger than Britney was at any point for most of her career. And it's not just Taylor—there's also Adele, a literal phenomenon whose peak was not only an insane cultural reset, but also bigger than Britney's. Also, to a lesser extent there's Gaga, whose peak at least matched Britney's. 
 

So no, Britney was not the last cultural zeitgeist mega-superstar. :clap3:

2008: Gaga

2010: Bieber

2011: Adele

2014: Taylor

 

so no.

 

 

Even before that...

 

2001 - Latin explosion - Jlo, Ricky, Shakira

 

2003 - Pop rock era - Avril, Kelly Clarkson, Pink

 

2005 - Urban/art pop - BEP, Fergie, Nelly, Gwen 

 

All those eras were more popular than bubblegum pop during those years.

Love Story 

You Belong With Me 

Shake It Off

Blank Space

Anti-Hero 

Cruel Summer 

 

Literally all undeniable smashes and classics, don't act dense

I feel like Taylor is the only one who truly had the huge impact. Adele had big moments but they were musician moments not pop culture moments if that makes sense

Not when Adele and Justin Bieber exist

Name one iconic song, performance, outfit or moment by Bieber which is recognized by GP

Not the last one, but surely one of the most popular and remembered alongside Madonna, Gaga and Taylor.
