So I had done a thread like this 4 months ago asking if her VEVO views would surpass Katy, Rihanna and Shakira's on vevo with the 1989 era:

even I doubted her power for a tiny bit in that thread.

However since then...this is what happened:

Katy = 5,471,060,132 views
Shakira = 4,750,955,111 views

Discuss below:

She'll definitely pass Shakira. I can see her passing Katy as well. I don't think she'll pass Rih anytime soon

Probably not Rhi but definitely Shakira and Maybe Katy

interesting



she's gonna be bitting at Katy's ankles after this single

I think she will come close to Katy

Rihanna has an amazing videography and she's like the most streamed artist in Vevo so I don't think so.

She might come close to Katy, but Katy will distance herself once the new era starts.

Every time she's released a video this era, it's been like an event. If she keeps that high momentum, along with how popular her old videos are, she'll definitely catch up to Katy.

Then Katy will release a new smash lead single and be back ahead.

I actually think she can build a big enough gap between her and Katy with this era. and by the time Katy is like midway through K4 Taylor will have already begun T6

Lol just imagine when Katy has an active era!

ya Rihanna is 100% safe. but Katy can easily be snatched with the 1989 era.

I mean if
Bad Blood can pull 600 million
Wildest Dreams 250 million
Clean/New Romantics/ or whatever 250 million

plus add views to Shake it off to like 1 billion ,Blank Space to like 1.2 billion and Style to 200 million

then that's 3.5 BILLION views for just this one era!

Depends
I can see her overtaking katy this era, and if katy keeps up this 3 year gap between eras then they'll start their next eras at the same point and katy wont catch back up.

Rihanna is not going to get snatched by taylor, if katy releases soon tho she might snatch.

Either way by the end of this year they'll be the 3 most viewed vevo channels, justin's gonna go down.

lol Katy will pass even Rihanna with her next era

yes she will pass katy this era
not rih tho

With Bad Blood, I feel like she could pass Shakira and Katy. She'll definitely beat them by the end of the era.

Rihanna, however, will take longer - that's a pretty huge gap still.

No, Bad Blood wont have longevity since it will flop.

Depends on whether or not Bad Blood is a hit or not. And if the video is around the same length as the song without any cuts in it.

Maybe Queen of Music Shakira
If she surpasses Shakira, then I see a tight race between Taylor and Queen of Pop Katy.
Queen Rihanna though, I doubt Taylor is a threat to her throne unless she pulls an AO with every future single while Taylor serves us more Blank Space kinda masterpiece I can see the latter happening but Rihanna is most probably going to slay the charts with her future eras
