Well that is yet to be determined, we can't predict the future.

Taylor going pop has just accelerated her singles slayage and thus her accumulation of certifications! Just think how many certifications Taylor will be on when she gets to Katy's current age!

Good for her, congrats.

"Underpromoted singles" It's Taylor we're talking about here, she promotes more than anyone.

Not you acting like Taylor's music is above Katy's while your fave is a Radio Disney star outside United States, and sings like she's 6 years old. She's a ****ing joke. So don't even try it.

That's cool. Taylor is helped cause she has high selling album tracks as well.

Good for both girls though.

They've slayed since the beginning of their careers and don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

No one uses them as receipts - except everyone in the music industry. Every artist who is multi-platinum is introduced as a multi-platinum selling artist. Same with Grammy's but we won't mention the G-Word.

Don't pretend as if RIAA are some obscure organisation when they officially run the standard milestone measurements of commercial success in the US market.

The fee to certify is very small, you think Katy's being at one of the biggest record companies in the world cannot afford this? They certainly splashed out to get her to 72.5 certifications didn't they?

Taylor's overtaken Katy, because Taylor has numerous album tracks that can get certified Gold or Platinum because they sell.

That's what I said, they use them in the press releases when you and i both know that sales are a better indication of success than RIAA.

Rihanna's label didn't pay and Britney's label too! P!nk too!

OK. Then here's her CDT receipts

1,066,831 / 1,088,817 $51,824,881

Fearless still beat it, by a lot.

Lol what? CDT grossed $59.5M and had 1.2M attendance

Fearless $63M.7M with 1.1M attedance

it was all about the price and the Prismatic tour destroyed the Speak now tour.

CDT did 60m$ with unreported dates.

I'd say they both grossed roughly the same.

Both are doing well.

No

Reported sales are all that matters. You tried it thinking your fave would have Taylor beat.

Next time don't be so cocky

[Ozzy8923]

To be fair, Taylor did have a 2 year head start. Her first certified single was released in 2006 vs. Katy's in 2008. That doesn't undermine the achievement, though. I just felt like pointing this out.

Taylor's music is easily above Katy's and the Grammys critics fellow musicians and the Gp agree

Don't be pressed now! That's just the way it is

Taylor didn't have a pop single till 2008 tho so it balances out

Katy's music has ZERO acclaim. Nobody takes it seriously.

The critics can give more stars to Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber than Nirvana or Led Zeppelin. I don't care.

Sean Paul has Grammy Awards, Will.i.am has a lot too.

Her music is generic and inmature, that's just the way it is.

The US loves that 'Teen with a guitar writes her songs' ********.

In South America she's just another Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez.

[Haunted.]

Ugh truly the biggest pop star we have rn!

Meh, Country singles sell well in the states + she got plenty of airplay on that format. Point is, she was selling units before 2008, Katy wasn't. It doesn't balance out.

She doesn't need it. She is still a global star and is going to perform at Super Bowl while your fave is crying like a spoiled teen because her dancers prefer to work with the queen of pop.

So your arguement is that some people don't deserve thier acclaim so that explains Katy's total lack of it?
The US is a more important market sooooo

Weak, try again gerl
