According to Billboard, Taylor Swift is now the second-greatest pop star of the twenty-first century, after Beyoncé recently surpassed her.
The music newspaper has now clarified their decision to place the Single Ladies hitmaker as their top pick after these rankings infuriated the Swifties, the Lover singer’s fan following.
“Beyoncé tops our staff-chosen editorial list based on her full 25 years of influence, impact, and evolution,” the publication said in a statement, defending its position that Taylor Swift is the century’s biggest pop star by the numbers.
