Oh and since I've already read about singles sales and vevo record (adjgikojkk), lemme clarify that by peak I mean GLOBAL FORCE. Gaga was literally EVERYWHERE, even your mothers knew who she was.

Gaga most definitely.

Plus were not accounting for her upcoming re-peak

Yes! Waiting passionately for her comeback to pop (or rock :green:)

I don't think Taylor is at her peak yet :whitney:

Also this.. But either way, I don't think Taylor's peak will be as impactful as Gaga's, and I love Tay to death

Taylor did not peak. She will probably peak with her next era. Anyone who thinks it through knows that.

No one can deny the commercial success of Taylor right now. She's a money magnet. I don't really see her being influential, game-changing or fresh. I personally find her over rated but clearly the GPeasants don't think so ;) I love the song Style and Out of the Woods but other than that I find her music aggravating.

 

When Gaga was at her peak she was changing pop culture and was completely fresh in comparison to her contemporary competitors. She's still got it in her if she plays her cards right, which seems like she has been doing as of recently :pray:

Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.

Gaga brought pop back, she made it cool again, she had a major impact on the world of music and the media obsessed over her. Taylor Swift is selling a lot of records with forgettable pop songs that won't be played anymore in 10 years, unlike Bad Romance, Poker Face and others by the Lady.

Gaga worldwide.

Taylor in the US. 

 

But in the end, who will they remember? The ****ing amazing songwriter who died on stage, wore raw meat along with many other crazy outfits, and played the first ever Euro Games. Or the cute blonde who wrote catchy songs about boys who dumped her?

Taylor is the perfect pop star. She's talented, beautiful, elegant, and commercial. Honestly I'm super into her atm and I'd even go as far as saying she's Britney 2.0. 

HOWEVER: In terms of her career, Gaga is a Madonna, a Michael Jackson, a Prince. She's a game changer and her cultural, social, and musical impact is undeniable. She changed the game on a global scale. It was never about smash hits for her, and that's why she'll be remembered.

Well, Taylor Swift still isn't that present in Europe (or at least where I live).

But everyone knows Gaga

Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind, I wanna get off but I keep riding the ride

Gaga, obviously. She had the global sales, the impact, she was a game changer. It took Taylor 4 albums before she finally started sussing out how to make a dent worldwide whereas Gaga had the world in the palm of her hand with her debut. I'm not going to listen to anyone who says "But Taylor started out country and country doesn't sell worldwide" because any kind of music can sell if you promote it right. Besides, country artists like Dolly and Shania have their global fans too. Taylor was too happy being in America, the country that made her, to try harder at first. It's hard to believe but even after all she's achieved, some people still don't know who Taylor is. A lot of the adults in my family who basically listen to nobody current and barely listen to music, know who Gaga is, but they don't know who Taylor is (except for my dad, he won't stop singng SIO, but just those 3 words, which is hell on earth for a Swift hater). Go anywhere in the world and just say "Gaga" and people will know who you mean. Gaga also has probably one of the best singles recall from the public, much more than the "hits" from a lot of her contemporaries. 

Taylor did not peak. She will probably peak with her next era. Anyone who thinks it through knows that.

You really think so? Considering that she already out-peaked her previous peak (Fearless), it suggests that she won't have any further to go from now on. Most artists only have one peak, some very lucky ones have two. But three? I can think of maybe 2 artists/bands that sold more with every release but they are once in a lifetime moments. Even some of her own fans are saying that she won't do better next time. Being a Gaga fan really educated me on how peaks work. I thought she'd outpeak TF/TFM with BTW, a lot of us did. She didn't. And then I looked back in history to find that most artists do not follow a peak with an even bigger peak, it's almost always an inevitable freefall after that. Taylor's courting the public too much right now to have another re-peak. Courting the public too much can turn them away just as quickly. Trends come and go, so if you follow them, you'll become old news fast. I've seen artists whose album was so of the moment and sold well, but their next one didn't. Because the public only hang around on a trend for one album, generally. Taylor fans are going to be in for a big shock in future years. Seriously.
