I think we’re too in it now to properly be able to tell her level of fame compared to others, and also its such a different ball game now with internet/social media. We’ll probably have a clearer view in 10/20 years.

[friarsfire]

I disagree. There are people who lived through the heights of fame of MJ, Madonna, and Beatlemania and they can confidently assess her popularity doesn’t match theirs. To be clear, that’s not at all a knock on Taylor: what she’s built for herself is impressive on its its own. In general, the fact that we’re using the fame of these other artists as the metric kinda makes the point.

I’m 45 and think she’s absolutely in the same discussion as Madonna. I’m neutral on her but she’s super famous now.

[euraylie]

The only difference being, a lot of the general public knew all the Madonna songs…I doubt that is true of Taylor Swift songs (not even knocking her; media is just consumed differently today)

[laydownhere]

just a humble singer-songwriter from a christmas tree farm!

[ladychips]

people insisting that shes not as famous as she seems, including here, crack me up

[automaticpeople]

Never heard of her.

Is she new?

[skyler_white_yo]

I don’t care for her music, but when she makes national headlines for just existing, it’s hard to argue her popularity.
In 10 years her popularity will probably wane, but she will still be a household name.

[spameyeam]

Agreed. She’s arguably the biggest celeb in the world at the moment. Now comparing her music to his, (not that we are) she’ll never hold a candle.

[reasontorhyme]

No one can deny her impact - culturally, socially and musically. She is absolutely a force.

I don't get why that's up for debate...?

[jojito]

She's immensely popular, sure. And her music is everywhere.

But cultural impact??? I don't see it. She and her music are so empty to me.

[euraylie]

She’s probably the most famous celeb in the world right now, but she’s not starting any music or fashion trends like some of her predecessors, for one

[jojito]

Exactly. She is a trend chaser.
And I don't know how big she'd be if she hadn't sold her personal life the way she has.

[adb7]

In the not so distant past, you could know that she's very famous but she wasn't inescapable. She's reaching inescapable levels.
