Yes Nicki got a major push into pop stardom thanks to Taylor.

But she already had major urban airplay and Platinum hits.

Taylor stans might as well add this one:

7. Britney Spears
If it wasn't 1989, an album which nearly broke Britney Spears' highest first-week sales record, Britney Spears will never be remembered by the public. Britney scored a top 30 hit after news coverage of the tough situation. The reigning queen of pop, Taylor Swift, single-handedly saved Britney's career. The power of Lord!

I would argue and say that he owes Taylor for exposing him to a broader (read: whiter) audience, but then that feels like White Saviour Complex and I'd rather not go into that.

It's not that serious.

lol even my parents, two conservative whites in Texas, knew who Kendrick was before Taylor because of the Grammys

O hell no at Nicki and Kendrick.
Also Lorde, Selena, HAIM? this is so dumb
