Yeah, Beyonce also can't compete because her writers and producers hand her low quality music.
Been saying for ages that Beyonce is very very fortunate to be where she is with her weak ass catalog.
Not saying Swift has a better catalog, but no way a white pop singer was ever taken more seriously than a Black rnb singer.
Highlights just how far Black music has fallen.
At the height of Black music, swift would be Fergie status.
Wouldn't say that
The industry (old white men) has always been hesitant to take black artist seriously
Take for instance
Carole King has a AOTY Grammy... While Aretha Franklin the queen of soul does not
In it's 64 yr existence only 12 blk artist have won an AOTY Grammy
Consider Madonna at her peak was outselling Whitney and Janet who were also in their primes...and she has gone on to become the best selling female artist ever by a wide margin
That said, despite Taylor's popularity
B is one of the most awarded acclaimed musician ever...has 30+ Grammys, a Peabody... Top 10 best selling female artist ever
