Taylor Swift fans in meltdown as Beyonce is OFFICIALLY named greatest pop star of 21st century by Billboard

by

As a dedicated fan who has grown up alongside Taylor Swift’s incredible journey in the music industry, I must express my profound disappointment with Billboard’s recent ranking of pop stars. To me, it feels like a bittersweet symphony that misses the mark.

Enthusiasts of Taylor Swift were taken aback when Billboard declared Beyoncé as the top pop star of the 21st century, sparking a flurry of reactions among them.

At 35 years old, Swift has achieved an unprecedented level of success, breaking records with The Eras Tour being recognized as the highest earning concert series in history and making her the most commercially successful artist of the 21st century – leading many to anticipate her claiming the number one spot.

However Swift landed at number two on the list, with Billboard anointing the Crazy In Love star with the coveted title due to her ‘full 25 years of influence, evolution and impact.’

Although Taylor Swift stands as the most successful pop artist this century in terms of album sales, streaming popularity, and concert attendance, our team has opted for Beyoncé as our top pick for the Greatest Pop Star of the Century.

Fans expressed strong disappointment over what seemed like a slight, as one fan put it: “Taylor Swift has made a greater impact in the last five years than Beyoncé throughout her entire career, multiplied by five.

The second person stated, ‘Taylor’s influence on evolution and impact are three terms that define her, by the way.’ While the third person commented, ‘To put it simply, since Taylor was fifteen, Beyoncé had an edge in the context of this publication.’

In a Billboard article, Taylor Swift was referenced 13 times when they named Beyoncé as the “Top Pop Star of the Century.

‘When we say the real greatest pop star of the century’

It’s quite intriguing that Taylor Swift’s album ‘ttpd’ was the most streamed on Apple, making her the most streamed artist as well. Interestingly, Billie Eilish was named Apple Artist of the Year. Despite Billboard constantly praising Taylor for her excellence and claiming she surpasses Beyoncé, they still haven’t recognized her as the best pop star yet.

“The billboard not too long ago announced Taylor as the best of her generation, yet oddly enough placed Beyoncé first and then praised Taylor afterward, as if she were second fiddle.

Many people commended the decision and applauded Billboard for recognizing Beyonce’s enduring legacy: ‘Few artists have been able to maintain such a lasting impact as Beyoncé has over the past three decades. And that longevity alone makes her the most influential artist today.’ [CLOSED]

Beyoncé is justifiably recognized as Billboard’s top pop artist of the 21st century. Over more than two decades, she’s smashed records, ruled the charts, ignited discussions, boosted communities, and left an indelible impact on generations. Beyond being a pop star, she’s a powerful cultural figure!

It seems we’re all on the same page that these two ladies possess exceptional, genuine talent. We can’t help but admire them both deeply.

Overwhelmed with excitement last week, I, a die-hard Swiftie, saw red when I discovered that Billboard had ranked Taylor Swift as the second greatest pop star of the 21st century on social media!

Following the prestigious designation, it became apparent that the uproar on the internet about her narrowly missing the top spot was merely further proof of her immense influence.

In explaining why they wouldn’t place Swift at the top, Billboard pointed out that she started her career in both her genre and music as a whole much later in the millennium compared to other artists, such as Beyoncé.

Nonetheless, fans of Taylor Swift, often referred to as Swifties, predictably expressed their anger towards the staff at Billboard for making a decision that ranked the top 25 most influential pop stars of the 21st century. This task proved challenging due to the immense talent in the field.

Beneath the Instagram post, numerous Swift supporters voiced their displeasure by labeling the list a ‘joke’ and strongly stating that the Fortnite creator was ‘unfairly denied’.

One person remarked, ‘This is disappointing and really needs to be revised.’ They went on to question, ‘Who verified this catalog? To begin with, your supposedly accurate lists are often far from the truth.’
