Now I love Taylor but her stans surely seem delusional. Rihanna is a bigger persona with more memorable moments, music, and has more impacT.
It's like comparing Beyonce to Katy Perry...

Well, you see, when Kanye West says he is collaborating with Paul McCartney on his entire new album and other things and then Kanye announces that he is executive producing Rihanna's upcoming (shelved) album, there is a high chance that Paul will be on said album.
Congrats on getting Paul McCartney on a song Rihanna had no part in making Kanye!

Oh and you mean one of the greatest singers of all time and one of the greatest guitar players of all time? Thanks for proving my point boo!

What point?
Do i need to bold it for you?
You said nearly all of the legends write their own music.
Whitney hardly wrote her own music and yet she's one of the most respected..

Look at the most respected musicians of all time. Nearly all wrote their own music, played multiple instruments, or a combination of the two.

Whitney is only respected because she passed away. Up until her death, she was a laughing stock. People only praise the first couple years of her career and then once her personal life was in shambles, she had no respect.

I see people in here straying away from the topic anytime their losing the argument.
Typical.

She's only going to get bigger.
She has a legacy that only The Beatles, Elvis, MJ and Madonna can compete with.
She and the aforementioned are the big 5.
Sorry 'bout it.

Everything about this post is hysterical I can't get over it.

You guys are so ****ing embarrassing.... arguing over who has/will have the biggest legacy. Taylor doesn't give a **** about being better than Rihanna and the same vice versa... This is cringe worthy as ****

The desepration
Paul McCartney worked with RIHANNA and had nothing but GREAT things to say about her, her artistry, and personality.
Aretha Franklin, the GREATEST vocalist of all time said Rihanna has "a beautiful voice." Want to know what she said about Taylor? "OK, great gowns, beautiful gowns." Like, she had nothing to say about Taylor other than she has nice dresses
Don't get it twisted. Rihanna is rightfully more respected by the GP and the industry. Kii at songwriting being what makes a legacy. The VOICE does. That's why Rihanna will always remain ahead of Taylor - she has a distinctive, instantly recognizable, one-of-a-kind VOICE. Taylor needs songwriting because other than that she brings nothing to the table. No one has ever said she was an amazing vocalist, amazing performer, etc. They always only have anything positive about her songwriting (as far as her artistry is concerned).
So with that being said, RIHANNA.

Rihanna. I don't really think there is anything iconic about Taylor. At least Rihanna has her style and a few classic hits.
Lol @ Rihanna being iconic for her voice though

Lets not forget that the legendary Joni Mitchell was terrified at the thought of Taylor playing Joni in her biopic. Would the greatest female lyricist of all time want to be represented by below average lyricist who writes in a sloppy upset teenage girl style? No. Taylor's lyrics is one of her weakest links. She keeps writing the same way she did when she was 15. She just can't get out of that basic sentence structure and style. That's why neither her songs nor albums make onto many critics decade / all-time lists. That's why she is one of the least acclaimed pop girls.

Are we discussing legacy, or are we bragging about success?
As i said earlier the gp don't care about the sales.

The GP are literally the people who buy the music and support it with their money, which is measured by sales.
