I prefer 1989.

Both deserved AOTY

taylor. so much more impact.

The genres are so different to make a direct comparison.

regardless, BEYONCÉ >

I like both albums a lot and they're both probably my favorite albums by pop artists from the years they were released in.

Self-Titléd is my favorite out of the two though, by a little bit

Beyonce is a ****** alberm

The poll results

I personally like BEYONCE better (biased) it feels more polished, mature to me opposed to the other

I love both. Beyonce by a bit I supposed

BEYONCÉ by far.
The release, the visual aspect and her making a consistent, personal album, including soundbits of personal events and stuff, made it as an experience. It was a full packaged record with a full packaged delivery.
Max Martin was a new sound for Taylor, but it pretty much typical pop, nothing new.
