Remember that Rolling Stone article about the "present day queens of pop" from 2011? Taylor came in second behind Gaga, but that was before Taylor smashed with Red and Gaga... didn't smash with ARTPOP.

Agreed with this.

Taylor's been crazy successful for 8 years now, and I honestly don't see any sign of it slowing down with this era. Sure, Her album sales may be lower because of how awful the market is right now, but Her tour will gross more than the previous one so it's all good. As long as She remains a touring powerhouse, She's golden.

Not this again. Country stans are not buying Taylor's music. Country stans do not buy country music by female artists. Just research the sales for a minute before posting stuff like this.

I never said its the country stans buying tho, did i? I also said that her country appeal is what made her special and made her standout. She is a GP-darling, but if she is coming with a generic record, i doubt they will be here for it. I will tho, i like her music

lol, no. I don't really think of her like that, and I doubt that's what she's really going for. She'd be very lucky to try to touch Stevie Knicks or Joni Mitchell's level. Not every female artist needs to be Madonna or some type of pop queen.
