Did Beyonce ever had those years that Britney and Gaga had that the whole industry and the world were copying their style, fabricating clone artists, talking about them EVERYWHERE and became a global phenomenon?
I don't think being an "It" girl is limited to just one artist. I think it's more so a state of success. That said, when has Beyoncé ever not been the "It" girl? Even when her songs don't chart well, she is still extremely sought after.
