Of course, not in like every country, but many more than she was.

Only on ATRL.

Out of ATRL, she's the most global pop girl, a complete pop phenomenon. Icon of our times.

The LIES.
Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy, and Gaga are way more global than Taylor. Don't @ me.

Yes. Her biggest market is her home unlike Rihanna (Europe), Avril (Asia), Madonna (World), Beyonce (Africa), etc.

No. France is just one of the main music markets

That doesn't make her any more or less global. You're not local if you can shift more than 3M+ outside of your home country.

A local artist is a person who can't tour, who can't win global awards, or release successful music abroad.

None of those things fit Taylor (or Beyoncé)

[Rainsford]

Taylor Swift is local. This is a FACT.

[Vine101]

Obviously no. Interesting how Atrl ignores the receipts though

Ian don't do this



Be realistic



Stop it

[HereInMyHead]

She is a lot more global than she was with her first album, that's for sure.

She is definitely globally successful with this album.

Well, 1989 is her only full pop album, and the rest are country albums. Country only do well in the US, but her albums did good WW despite being country. For example, Fearless sold 3M out of the US.

You just don't get it, do you?

[LoKoPaNdA]

She has no UK #1 singles, no top 5 singles in France and only one in Germany, has never toured Latin America

[Butters]

She's still kind of a nobody out of English speaking countries

With these peaks, 3 million albums sold OUTSIDE of the United States, and sold-out tour dates in multiple continents, saying she's local is ignorant.

Just because the country she performs best in is the United States does not mean she is local. She's still performing better than most other acts outside North America.

Taylor didn't get a #1 in the US till WANEGBT and she was huge before that?

SIO is at 950k in the UK and peaked @ #2

[Mariano]

She is as global as Beyonce and Katy.

Not yet on Gaga/Rihanna/Adele's level tho.

Nowhere near local.

[OnikaChrist]

Someone post receipts of how much 1989 has sold in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK.
