no lies at all

Taylor is such a legend

"arguably"

+1

I'm sorry, not trying to be rude but why are some European ATRLers always acting as if Europe is the whole world.

Y'all want biggest music markets Taylor has got the US and she's the biggest western pop girl in Japan.

Y'all want non-English speaking countries stanning and Taylor is the biggest western pop girl in Asia (East/ Southeast-Asia at least).

In the U.S. sure

Kanye and Beyoncé are more local than Taylor tho.

Neither Beyoncé nor Taylor are local. Don't know about Kanye's situation, but i guess you could make a case that he isn't local either!

When ur one of the most influential rappers in the world (Id say Top2 together with Eminem), well hell yeah ur not just someone local. Its the same with Bey. When ur the Queen of RnB and slay pop music as much as she does, well hell yeah ur well known around the world. This local garbage some people are refering is just a cheap way of trying to hate on them. Same goes for Taylor.

I agree if we're talking US only.

Adele, Alexandra Burke, Little Mix, Bryn Christopher, Cheryl Cole, Jessie J, Kimberley Walsh, Leona Lewis, Rita Ora and Sam Smith have all listed Beyoncé as an influence to them and they are from the UK. Agnes Carlsson from Sweden has, Ayushita from Indonesia has, Charice from the Philippines has, Dami Im from South Korea has, G.E.M. from China has, Grimes from Canada has, Ivi Adamou from Cyprus/Greece has, Kelly Key and Sandy from Brazil have, Ricki-Lee Coulter, Stan Walker and Samantha Jade from Australia also have.

Beyoncé is an influence on artists from across the globe.
