And many more are more commercial than anything Taylor has ever recorded.

ok? I never said you had to. And being huge has nothing to do with your music being good. WTF I was trying to prove your point and then you try to argue with me?

ah

[BabyCantYouSee]

Last time I checked, success does not mean impact. Somebody tell me something impactful that Taylor has done.

It's not that hard. See Shania Twain as an example. She was way more successful than Taylor yet she is forgotten nowadays.

Rihanna might not sell as much as Taylor does in the US. But she's way more famous and she's more of a "star". She has more things to be remembered.

Everybody knows that Rihanna is a singles artist. You can flaunt Taylor's album sales all you want, but her cultural impact is nowhere near Rihanna's.

BYE gurl!
Taylor will be remembered for WRITING and COMPOSING her own music, doesn't matter what it's about, it's her life, she can whine about her boyfriends or even her cat. She does a pretty good job at it.

I know right, You are supposed to write and compose your own music. Its just that the pop stars have made expectations so low that writing your own songs nowadays is considered an honor, when it should be a necessity.

Songwriting has never been a necessity to be a great artist.

Consumers in the real world don't care about songwriting credits.

you may have your point but everyone knows that rihanna's music is WAY more commercial that taylor's since when explicit means no commercial?

and you are using one song as an example, so can i use safe & sound to say that taylor is a completely alternative-folk artist?

Those are three songs, and even songs like Red Lipstick, Say It, Question Existing, half of her first and second albums, etc. aren't commercial at all. Taylor has always played it safe. By the way, Rihanna even dabbled into Indie with songs like Drunk On Love. She is a musical chameleon. Sorry but Rihanna wins.

how are you an artist without crafting your art? They are called performers and singers, not artists.

Country music is the most commercial genre though. Rihanna does Pop, Rap, Electropop, Dance, EDM, Reggae, Pop-Rock, Alternative, etc. Taylor could never. All she does is Country/Pop. Taylor is THE MOST COMMERCIAL ARTIST today.
