Both are 5th albums with their lead and follow up singles both going #1, LOUD sold 6 million worldwide and had a 90 million grossing tour, 1989 has already sold over 8 million worldwide and the tour will be a Arena and Stadium tour, is 1989 era already more successful?

obviously even the RED era was

yeah too bad no one will remember 1989 like they do Loud five years on

WW I'm not sure yet, but it seems like it might be, she already is getting there with the albums, lets see the singles and other stuff....

Thiss too, this era is extremely successful but not iconic like at all

Nobody remembers LOUD right now, let alone 5 years down the road.

To answer the OP, yes, the 1989 era is more successful.

They will

Clock it!

Red isn't quite matching the iconic LOUD with less album and single sales

If anyone actually votes LOUD...

Yes it already is.

.

1989 has been huge. Shake It Off was massive but I think Blank Space is equally if not more huge. Taylor is just everywhere.

lmao, the only thing people remember from the LOUD era (and possibly Rihanna's career as a whole) is the red hair

yes.

Red sold more and WANEGBT sold more than any single from the loud era.

Did Loud iconic
Asking my friends and nobody remember that album seriously
Some stans just in their own delusional world

More than you can say for Taylor's entire career
