[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my day to day life I'm probably listening to Taylor more than Beyonce just because Bey's music isn't really my 'zen out and relax' kind of jam but like, why do they need to be in competition? They are two entirely different kinds of artists.

Why don't you take a cue from Taylor herself OP and lift up all female artists instead of trying to make it a competition and tear them down. Bey and Taylor are supporting each other by helping promote each other's films they aren't trying to eat at each other.

But truly dude, I've been listening to Beyonce bops since the 90s, Destiny's Child was a formative part of my musical life, saying Beyonce copies Taylor? [b]She does not care about TS, just like she seems to not really care about anyone else. [/b]She did that pop star life and then made a crazy amount of money and now does only precisely what she wants to do the way she wants to do it, nothing more, nothing less. Beyonce answers to no one but Beyonce, and while I enjoyed her pop music a lot more than her current music, I have nothing but admiration for a woman who decided to do her thing unapologetically.

Calling Beyonce a copycat is just...so absurd as to be hilarious.[/quote]

Not OP, but if this is true she really *should* care.  About Taylor, of course, because Taylor is far and away at the top of the music industry ATM.  But even if not Taylor, she should care about SZA, Karol G, Lana Del Rey, Shakira, etc, because right now Beyonce is flopping hard and it truly seems the only people listening to her are Gen Xers or elder millennials like yourself with outdated lingo, who don't have any knowledge of what's hip or what's current and are certainly not going to be tastemakers shaping what goes viral on tiktok or anything like that.  She didn't even crack the TOP 20 of Spotify's female artists (not even all artists, which is mostly male dominated, but the female artist category).  Contrast that to Rihanna who hasn't released an album in years and still gets a lot of play.  Now her movie completely flopped.  Spin it any way you want to, but it definitely doesn't look good for Beyonce. Her career has been mainly propped up by PR, but the fact is there isn't interest from the public or enough catchy music to back it up.  Reminds me of Justin Timberlake a few years ago and look what happened to him [/quote]

I know one song by Beyonce because of SNL.

I know a few songs by Taylor.

I do not know one song of Rhianna. Maybe she has some in a commercial but I would not know it’s her song.[/quote]
