The one that released Dark Horse

Katy hasn't taken very many risks especially increasingly, but she has way more career risks than Taylor overall. What has Taylor done that's risky? Bleach her hair blonde the other day? Everything she does that's "risky" is a publicity stunt.


Katy was raised to be a Christian gospel singer but risked losing her entire family by coming out with I Kissed A Girl. Taylor Swift's parents nurtured their child to become a star since she was a young child and even moved for her to get signed.

The reason people are saying Katy hasn't taken any risks is because her norm is risky. I mean the Teenage Dream cover itself plus Dark Horse was Trap. Trap for God's sake.

Taylor having unconditionally supportive parents makes Her music less risky? Hmm.

She lost her main airplay resources
she barely had hits from Pop before 1989 era (WANEGBT failed to reach #1 on Pop, 22 didnt even make Top 10)
While Katy, she stays at Pop radios all the time

taylor had been receiving pop airplay since her debut era TOMG was a top ten pop hit.

Only pop artists that release gospel songs (like Unconditionally and Judas) are considered risk-takers, so Katy.

Our Masterpiece also went Top 20 on Pop radio.

Birthday was risky. The risk didn't pay off, though

Lord

Taylor

Taylor Swift easily.

1989 was a risk. I'mma go w/ Taylor

Was Katy that well known when she sang gospell? She didnt lose anything by going pop lop.
And i dont have time to revive all the Taylor annouce going full pop thread with full of cm like she done, she lost her core fanbase etc...

Swifties could use Speak Now....it wasn't anything strikingly different from what her fans were used to but it was entirely self-written. Other than that, 1989 was not risky at all. RED ensured the transition, 3 of its singles were Max Martin pop Nothing about 1989 was risky.

USG, IKAG, TOY were all at least risky. Taylor?

Taylor

I think Taylor takes bigger risks. She's also exotic.
