So?

2020s obviously. 

It's kind of insane comparing the two since they are both career peaks an artist could only dream of  But yeah, going with the 2020's since she built upon the first decade with it.

2020s with ease. Anyone who says otherwise is just factually wrong, I fear!

 

The way she was the biggest artist of the 2010s and the answer is still the 2020s 

2020s, but I have a feeling 2030s will be even bigger.

Her 2010s eras have been even more successful in 2020 such as reputation, Lover and on top of that, the slayage of TTPD + Midnights + TV eras 

 

 

2020s for sure. The fact that her TEASING the album made national news here

There was a financial publication here in Argentina that reported her album announcement, despite being a publication almost entirely dedicated to politics and economics

 

2020s are already a significantly bigger era for her and we barely halfway through it

not to mention, most artists dream of having an era as big as Fearless way back in 2008. or having their debut album as the longest charting album on BB200 in 2000s decade.

Taylor's 2020s is rivaled only by Michael Jackson's 80s, The Beatles 60s and Elvis' 50s

this is not a debate, 2023 alone was bigger than the 2010's for her

2010s

 

Chartmasters listed her with 85 Million units sold, 10 Million happened in the 2000s, so 75 Million in the 2010s. Her touring total was $950 Million. She won one AOTY Grammy dor albums relseaed in the 2010s. Finished #2 in the artist of the Billboard decade chart. Was a global recording artist twice. Was on the person of the year cover shared with other woman. Biggest debut was 1.25M for an album.

 

2020s (we saw a little over half of the decade)

 

Chartmaster's lists her with 245M units, so already sold 160M units. Her decade touring total is at $2 billion already. She won two AOTY Grammys for her 2020s work. This time she could be the artist of the decade. Most likely she takes her 4th global recodring artist award this year. Was on the TIME cover alone because of her own doing. Biggest debut for an album was 2.6M.

As big as the 2010s were, the 2020s are clearly bigger.

There was a period of time in the 2010s where it felt like Taylor was actually going to be ruined. The 2020s has been so good for her that I have to vote for it, even though she had enormous success in the 2010s.

i think taylormania will come back again in 10 years. Maybe not as strong as it is today, but she surely will have a third global peak

I honestly think that she'll end the 2020s having had more or less the biggest decade, commercially, that any artist has ever had. She might even be there already given the immensity of the Eras Tour on top of a few years of consumption levels that have been genuinely unprecedented in the modern Soundscan/Luminate age. Granted some part of that is because of the substantially changed nature of consumption and the constant availability of an artist's whole catalog, which is different than was really possible when artists like the Beatles and Michael Jackson peaked, but the difference in sheer magnitude sort of makes up for that (note for example that her 2023 and 2024 each individually doubled the biggest years any other artist has had in the last two decades in terms of overall US consumption, including massive peaks like those of artist like Eminem, Adele, Gaga, Drake, etc.). Taylor was arguably the biggest artist of the 2010s when all is said and done, but she's so far ahead in the 20s that it's not really even a question.

Swiftmania alone made Taylor the biggest popstar of the millennium so far, so 2020s easily

2020s for sure. We have a government infrastructure project in my country named the Taylor Swift Project whose goal is to create a stadium so she would visit us on tour.

2020s for sure and that's insane cuz i remember me being shook of how big she was during the 2010s.
