What a refreshing thread.

Hell, even Birthday is more effervescent, less pretentious and a more successful pop track than the try hard spoken bridges of SIO and earlier pop Taylor.

WANEGBT got critical acclaim? Color me surprised. That melody+her vocals still grate my ears to this day

Pure garbage.



My vote is for Katy

Teenage Dream and E.T. > Taylor's discography > The rest of Katy's discography.

No, you could not.

TD is one of the most acclaimed songs of the decade by a pop girl. The other ones sans WANEGBT (whose lyrics are seen as a joke by most listeners anyway) have not received similar acclaim.

If you're going to use acclaim as your basis, you might as well pick Taylor

[Ties]

State of Grace is better than any Katy song, be it uptempo, a ballad, or whatever.

Miss me with the "it's not pop" mess.

[Eternium]

They've both got strong discographies but Taylor has two more albums. If Katy continues at this rate, she'll have better individual songs but Taylor will have more cohesive albums.

Either way, they're practically interchangeable at this point.

Well Taylor has gone the Katy route since and is failing to match her in SINGLE quality and success so I guess its just all downhill from here.

(Albums are a different story I ain't delusional)

Yes. In fact, WANEGBT and Shake It Off are probably more acclaimed than any Katy Perry song.

Why would you argue any Katy Perry song is pretentious? She is not ambitious enough for that. She knows her place

1989's highs are really high tho. Blank Space is one of the greatest pop songs of the past few years.

TD is the single most acclaimed pop girl track of the 2010s. Critics are still comparing songs to it today as the gold standard.

[Lilac]

Taylor

[Obsession]

Neither. They both work within the same niche, and I think they both add a certain slant to pop music that's very entertaining.

Both are basic.

How? I've never once enjoyed this song the thousands of times I heard it.

WANEGBT, BS and SIO all are higher than TD on their respective year ranks AND the all time chart.

Hmmm.. Pretty sure Trouble., Blank Space, and Style are all more acclaimed than Teenage Dream..
