Rihanna.

In history people remember: hits, visuals, imagery and media presence. All of which Rihanna beats Taylor on. No one cares about songwriting lyrics and tour gross. Marilyn Monroe doesn't have a single Oscar to her name yet she's the most famous actress/celebrity of all time.

Plus, what can another artist emulate from Taylor? Being safe. At least Rihanna has a unique look, style and attitude that can transcend generations.

So Taylor is inspiring tumblr songwriters and Rihanna is inspiring multimillionaire fashion brands, that's cute

The GP knows nothing of Madonna or Mariah's music anymore (sans AIWFC)

Cher literally only has Believe

would you say they have no legacy cause the GP's not checking for their music?

Let's not forget Rih's musical style also inspired some of the new artists.

Rihanna really doesn't have any impact. She's just the product of a machine. She has 0 iconic moments or performances. She doesn't write, play instruments, have any industry respect, etc.

What type of comeback?

Are we talking about Rih inspiring others, or are we talking about Rih inspiring herself?

Taylor. Rihanna has always been kind of mediocre for me in all departments, and now things for her aren'f looking too good.

Rihanna has no industry respect when she has more Grammys than Taylor and collaborated with Paul McCartney

No shade but Rihanna doesn't even need to inspire herself since she just sings other people's songs and doesn't seem heavily involved in the creative process of the music she sings

She could inspire others though, I guess.

versatility > an one dimensional "heartbreaker" act

Rihanna will be more remembered, it's not close

Yeah, she just stops by the studio and record whichever song her team of 20+ songwriters have wrote for her. Nobody truly respects someone like that.

She does have impact. And you can deny it all day.
She has some iconic moments unlike the other.

And since when is playing instruments and writing your own songs a requirement to be repsected in the music industry?

Did she not direct and release a critically acclaimed MV to BBHMM? Something she did after 45S?
Next ********.

Receiving attention for being naked and showing off her titties =/= being critically acclaimed

Has Rihanna ever won an AOTY Grammy award?

I know you're trying to add a bit of shade to the thread, but as i said before, we're not discussing Rih inspiring herself right now.

So i don't know why we're staying on that topic.

The Taylor stans trying so hard to discredit when all of their qualifications in having a legacy doesn't work.
Did Aretha play bagillion instruments? No, but she'll always be remembered more.
Did Whitney write all her songs? No, but she'll always remain a bigger force, even in death. Rest in peace, legend.

Taylor will remain on this generation's mind but she'll quickly fade once the future is upon us. She is that disposable. White, singer-songwriter who wrote Pop/Country songs about relationships? Been done to death. How generic can you get?
