Constantly doing what? Selling albums on a her website that end up blocking everyone and their mother?

Sure. Looks like someone watched too many TikToks or reels. A lot of people haven't realized yet that those kinds of videos are just the modern equivalent of tabloids: twisting reality and making things up with the sole purpose of gaining as much attention as possible, so that the creator can make money.

Just imagine if it was Taylor who spent her time liking things like this The endless think pieces calling her numbers-obsessed, immature, insufferable and not-a-girls-girl. She is really held to much higher standards than anyone else.

If they've been homophobic or are cheating, yes. Otherwise no, imo.

Five comments about Taylor on this page alone On a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with her. Everything really becomes about her eventually.

Their privileges aren't really that relevant to the question that asks who the bigger phenomenon is. The biggest (or second biggest) female artist in history is unquestionably a greater phenomenon than the ~20th-30th biggest male artist of all time. The answer is the best selling this century, most Google'd of all time, the more recognizable globally (Taylor is far bigger in Europe, Asia and Oceania) and more referenced among young artists.

It actually used to bother me when I was like 15 that Ours, Mine and Mean were on the same album

I always liked "Zeitgeist" as an album title

If you had to choose her most perfect four lines, this might be my choice❤️

I have the greatest admiration for her; we had one of the most stimulating and gratifying conversations."

Surprised at this performance, I actually thought it would be an immediate smash hit. I loved the remix personally!

Tiny Desk says hi

Wow

I mean, there's clearly a difference between an artist's music video and some promotional material made by Google (that Taylor's team quickly had taken down)

New songs have been flopping so badly this year

I believe a lot of trailer views happen on Facebook and Instagram these days… I think it will smash more than you think

If only the opinions of people with talent hold weight, then why are you asking atrl users?

According to ATRL: no According to musicians: Ringo Starr: "I love Taylor Swift, that's just how I am. I love her." Bruce Springsteen: "She's a tremendous writer."

She's always been such a pro, and I've admired her all these years." Elton John: "She is a great songwriter, she is a great artist, she's phenomenal. I've never seen such a phenomenon since the Beatles. And she works her ass off" Billy Joel: "She's like that generation's Beatles" Britney Spears: "The most iconic pop woman of our generation" Miley Cyrus: "I love and admire strong women who write their own songs, like Taylor Swift. She is divine!" Phil Collins: "I'm so pleased that she's the hugest thing in the world now (…). I mean it's easy to knock someone that's got so much success, but I think she really deserves it." Shania Twain: "I'm a big supporter of Taylor. I think she's just incredibly brilliant." Hillary Duff: "I don't think the intent back then was sophisticated songwriting. There was no Taylor Swift yet - it's like before Christ and after Christ. (She changed the game?) On all levels." Jon Bon Jovi: "Taylor Swift is going to be here for as long as she chooses to be." Patti Smith: "She's trying to do something good." Stevie Nicks: "Taylor is writing for the universal woman and for the man who wants to know her. The female rock-'n'-roll-country-pop songwriter is back, and her name is Taylor Swift. And it's women like her who are going to save the music business." Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins): "Taylor Swift is one of the most gifted pop artists of all time." Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day): "Great production. Great voice. Great entertainer. Great songwriting." Gene Simmons (KISS): "There's no question, Taylor Swift has taken over and she's great" Keith Urban: "I mean, God, Taylor's songwriting, it's so extraordinary. There's really no adjectives for it. She's such a great, great writer. So this new album (TTPD) is just more proof of that in really great ways." "She's transformed everything, really. The way you make music, the way you can re-record music. I mean, there's just so many things. She's been incredibly innovative with taking the reigns and taking control of her artistic destination in a really admirable way. She's really one of the great songwriters. I mean, she's great! She's not just really good, she's a great songwriter." Robbie Williams: "I love Taylor Swift. Who doesn't and who can't?" Cindy Lauper: "you can really hear her poetry and her voice as a poet. I like her, I think she's terrific. I think she writes some wonderful songs." Don McLean: "She is a person who is an example of what talent and really hard work can accomplish. She's working all of the time and she does everything that she does better than everybody else, whether it's a video or a performance or songwriting or records or what ever, she does it all, just way better than everybody else and it's really interesting because all of those other acts are suddenly old fashioned." U2: "Welcome back to our hometown… Leave some of it standing?!!!! Your biggest fan club, Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry." Raye: "She is just one of those rare timeless artists who gets it right every time. She's an absolute powerhouse. Shakira: "She is very, very intelligent, and her head is in the right place. Collaborating with her would be a dream!" Björk: "Concert films have reached a new level with female matriarchs like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift — I am convinced that the female artists of this era are more focused on communion with their musicians, dancers, and fans, and on emotion as their central axis, with its entire range of nuances. And that makes them translate much better as a "concert film," whether in theaters or on television." John Fogerty: "I have felt very close to Taylor for years because I have a daughter, Taylor is something I shared with my daughter, countless hours of listening and marveling over the wonderful songs. Every time a new album would come, we would listen and I'd shake my head, so many great songs. I sure understood her re-records, and I also felt her pain and the motivation for doing them in the first place. It's great she got them back. Doing my re-records now was a pretty wonderful thing for me, and of course, the inspiration was certainly partly because of what Taylor did" Ludacris: "Not only is her music phenomenal, but I also feel like it's the person that she is." Vince Gill: "I'm crazy about her" Ryan Murphy: "Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney, both of whom are truly incredible artists for the ages" Slayyyter: "TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE REASON I ASKED FOR A GUITAR FOR CHRISTMAS AS A LITTLE GIRL"

Two acoustic versions on streaming that we've already heard. Relax y'all

Oricon is physical sales only. Including the Billboard Japan hot 100 would probably be more accurate.

This list has not been updated in 5 years. I wonder what happened in the meantime.

So I was right

It's giving "saw it on Tiktok and therefore I think it too"
