like, Taylor literally OPENED an entire genre to another continent with 2 of the most profitable (not biggest) markets globally (Asia).

'Fearless' was such a smash here and LS + YBWM were all, and still are ICONIC and remembered smashes here. ('Romeo take me!' and the beginning plucking of YBWM are iconic). She has a DIAMOND album in PH (selling over 1M copies. Only 1 of 2 capable of doing so)

'Speak Now' wasn't really as global as Fearless but it proved that Asia was here for her (Korea STANNED for 'Back to December' and she toured arena's here, she also slayed PH)

'RED' was when she topped ha Fearless-era and went to dominate (nearly as much as Gaga) Asia with WANEGOD's legendary run in Japan + IKYWT slaying the rest of the Asian countries.

'1989' was when China and Japan went ******* for ha. Blank Space + Shake It Off (Wildest Dreams was a smash in China though) made the entire cotinent stan for ha!

(not every so-called 'major popgirl' gets Asia stanning for them so the fact that Taylor is basically held as the biggest popstar around here says something)

Title: "globalness"
OP: Only mentions Asia



Taylor is a globally big, but her success in the US overshadows her success everywhere else. Plus, she has never been as global as her peers.

we all know she's huge everywhere else though.

unlike 'certain' major girls y'all love to throw out as 'global'...

taylor actually has the biggest continent (Asia) stanning for ha.

(with 'being as global as her peers'... wth does that even mean? like does she have to be mainstream in africa??? she's literally already huge and known in Australia, N.A, S.A. and even Europe. there's no objective way to measure globalness and im not comparing her to others but she IS global and y'all will deal)

Jealousy.

cause she is not global

I agree, many are just jealous that their faves are completely local when compared to a global force like Taylor Swift.

she's not global, You Belong With Me WW peaks are tragique

I mean

She really is though. She's on every continent except antarctica and even in the ocean.

how is top 10 on 5 major markets tragic?

nnnn ATRL its standards...

(even then YBWM's impact....>>>>)

Because that is what this site does. They pick something to criticise your fave with, latch onto it and try to persuade everyone it is true. People want to believe everything bad about artists they are jealous of/ don't like and therefore cosign troll posts and threads.

impact is always the word ATRLers use when they need to justify their delusions so I think you lost

She's not as global as Adele, not even as Gaga.

because she's not

You Belong With Me peaks are the only thing you used to justify your delusion that Taylor Swift is not global, that's pretty dumb so I think you lost.

Because she wasn't global until 1989 and even then, 3/7 singles being global hits isn't really that global.

her only hits until 1989 were love story and if you were a trouble
i feel like this forum is some other world cos i would never consider taylor a superstar or bey longer relevant if not this site ;p

She is not global

Does she have a #1 in UK?

Couldn't agree more

Meanwhile Taylor is outselling and outstreaming most of atrl faves outside the US, so I'm not even pressed.

She is global and will grow with her next era. Over here she was a non-factor until 1989. She is just getting started but yeah giving Asians figures don't say anything, Avril was/is huge in Asia but isn't global at all.

Tour wise she will also improve in Europe musically she's getting bigger and radios and TVs support her more than most popstars.. All her singles were on loop on the radios in Belgium..even Out Of The Woods was a hit over here.
ATRL is always wrong when it comes to predictions, they told me Taylor would flop but here we are 2yrs later 1989 still outselling 2016 Atrlers favorites such as Dangerous Woman.
Most ATRL favs will never see a +200M$ grossing tour yet Tay Tay already scored that and she isn't 30 yet. I am glad I can witness all of her slay, I've loved her since her 1st album and now I am a young adult and I still love her. So much for the "only 10 to 15 yrs old girls care about her" narrative Atrl tried to push .
In 2015 ATRL also said that Beyoncé would NEVER tour stadiums alone, not even in the US. But here we are 1yr later FWT outgrossing Atrlers favorite girls, Selling out Croke Park, Stade de France, Wembley etc.. If she takes the tour to Asia and Oceania more people will look silly doubting Beyoncé's power.

ATRLers always let their hate for an artist blind them Taylor and Beyoncé being perfect examples. The public always come through and internet trolls can seeth.
