Be talented.
Know how to sing and dance as well as MJ.
Make an album as good as Thriller.
Have an entire city stand outside your hotel room.
ngl you’re just waffling man
Moron doesn’t even know what he’s upset about
Typing like he’s got a minimum word count on an essay lool
Time passes. If you polled people under 25 I bet it would already be the case. You don’t think a certain age group knows Shake It Off more than the Beatles hits?
When I was younger The Three Stooges were still a household name and every one even my age knew them by name. That’s not the case anymore. Same will happen to the Beatles eventually.
Getting into their music is still kind of a rite of passage for music nerds but in the world of casual listeners and young people, yes Shake It Off will stick around longer in the public consciousness. I know y’all think everything I say is a hot take but this is just kind of obvious. Think about what media will actually look like in 20 years.
You’re talking about a group from the 1960s who still is the biggest band of all time to this day and it’s been 50+ years since.
There is no outcome where Shake It Off is bigger than the biggest Beatles songs. Especially with how limited her demographic is compared to how The Beatles is and was.
These are her best examples of getting fresh
I am not searching through hundreds of millions of photographs for someone I don’t care about. Especially not someone who’s never been a style icon in any way; not even remotely thought about like one until Reputation era when she ripped off Beyoncé. I liked those two photos though.
I respect everyone itt saying that the streaming era records won’t make her bigger
But the general public literally judges how big artists from the 60s and 70s were by Spotify monthly listeners and stream counts. The casual listener literally thinks Spotify has always been the way to consume music and there’s nothing before or after. So they will give her the title because they don’t know better
That said, whenever she does decide to enter politics it could actually take her to a different space. She’s probably the first music artist to be seriously talked about as being president one day. And I predict it does happen
To be fair, Morgan Wallen is rarely considered a GOAT artist despite outselling everyone(except Taylor) this decade.
The Beatles and MJ could never make Blank Space or All Too Well
I’d say she’s already surpassed them
I’d say never post again

Three Stooges fell by the wayside but SpongeBob and The Simpsons still here

No one knows who he is outside of America though
Monoculture is close to dead nowadays
What MJ and The Beatles had going for them was lack of options and primitiveness of the music industry (once you look at it in 2024)
The Beatles and MJ could never make Blank Space or All Too Well
I’d say she’s already surpassed them
Exactly, you’re not supposed to do stupid s***

So let’s say you have to get a 20 year old to recognize a song by humming the melody, and you win a million dollars if they get it right
Now you get to pick: Shake It Off or any Beatles song
Which one you doing?
Her music itself is preventing her from being a megastar like MJ & The Beatles
She’s the female Elvis at best, she’s propped up as an American symbol meanwhile appealing to young adult/teenage girls with her formulaic music
She’s huge in countries like Brazil and The Philippines
That's not enough
MJ was huge everywhere
Three Stooges fell by the wayside but SpongeBob and The Simpsons still here
Yup and Taylor is spongebob to the Beatles stooges
find me one cool picture of taylor swift
Yup and Taylor is spongebob to the Beatles stooges
SpongeBob was more talented at comedy than Taylor was at music
Wrong Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia is more influenced by Blink-182 then anything lol
Even her first hit was her doing a Lorde impression
So let’s say you have to get a 20 year old to recognize a song by humming the melody, and you win a million dollars if they get it right
Now you get to pick: Shake It Off or any Beatles song
Which one you doing?
20 years from now I’m definitely going with a Beatles song, not Shake It Off
So let’s say you have to get a 20 year old to recognize a song by humming the melody, and you win a million dollars if they get it right
Now you get to pick: Shake It Off or any Beatles song
Which one you doing?
Try that again in 50 years and see if she's as popular as the Beatles.
