SIO was #1 in 15+ countries. Much more global than that birthday (lolz). The only song that even holds a candle to BS atm is LTWYL and that's because of Eminem.
Save the personal attacks for some other day and learn to stay on topic please. xoxo
Sales wise, touring wise, album wise etc yes.
But there's something about Rihanna. I believe she's an icon, has bigger hits (although majority of her #1's are forgotten!) and has a much wider audience.
So, no. Taylor just has great power but there's so much more than that.
hahaha THESE SWIFTIES
I mean Taylor will never Be the ICON rihanna is.
Obviously a pretty, young white girl is going to sell more especially when all she does is make generic pop/country music that has almost no sexual connotations, no swearing/drug references in it. I mean rihanna is the dirtiest pop star of this generation, she is the reason everyone is sexing up. Like they're incomparable
Call me when taylor is even 1/8th as important as rihanna is to pop culture and not just american pop culture, pop culture internationally. RIhanna is a Fashion Icon, a Sex Icon and has had more impact on pop music than taylor. Ive never heard a song where someone is trying to replicate taylor swift but so many established artists have been singing songs that even critics have called out for sounding like a rihanna RIHject.
I mean taylor swift even copied her for the IKYWT music video. ri her impact alone>>
I mean celiene DIon sold more than Madonna but isnt half as iconic
I mean MTV was begging ri to release #R8 and so many other outlets have been reporting begging to be RHIhydrated.
People were begging for R8 bc of the state of pop music. R8 will open to less than 400k and will limp towards ~1.5m in sales. Rihanna has 1 album EVER to sell more than 2m domestically. And that's not gonna change with R8 sweetie Sry
Taylor slays her in album sales, tour gross, acclaim and awards. Has broken more records, and is leaving a bigger mark in the industry.
And death @ the coast guard using the "Rihanna's an icon, a bigger name, etc"' excuse. Rihanna's a generic pop tart like the rest of em. She brings nothing new or special to the table.
This thread. The replies in here. The Navy thinking Rihanna is bigger when she's literally a non-factor in the music industry. @ Rihanna being bigger than Taylor globally when the only parts of the world she is bigger are Europe, the Middle East & that island she was born in. So much delusion to take @ once.
