It didn't seem like Taylor Swift could get any bigger.
She's got massive success in the music industry, millions of devoted fans and a permanent place in pop culture history, the latter thanks to an incident that the world will never, ever allow Kanye West to forget.
But clearly, that wasn't enough for the (literally) towering singer.
In one week, she became the second-biggest selling act of 2014 and the only solo platinum-selling artist of the year -- all with the debut of her new album, "1989." She pulled her music off Spotify, the most popular streaming site in the world, shaking the music industry's stance on streaming, and managed to get pulled into a political controversy thanks to a remark during the U.S. Senate race in Iowa.
"Taylor Swift is basically the biggest musician in the world and that means she's in the rare position of being able to do whatever she wants," writes Jacob Kastrenakes
Hmm no it's really only this year. 2008-2009 Gaga and BEP were bigger. Speak Now era Bieber, Eminem, Gaga, Katy, Rihanna were bigger. Red era Adele was bigger.

In the US? Taylor has ALWAYS been bigger than Gaga and the BEP were never a threat.
