I don't think Taylor will be nowhere near to Gaga in terms of legend status. She has never done anything legendary nor innovative. She was commercially successful but that is all. Gaga has had a lot of showstopping moments in her career since day 1. She's gonna be Michael Jackosn level legend or more, If she keeps doing what she's been doing last 12 years. Taylor had her 5 minutes and that's all I think. She isn't that kind of artist who can adjust to every turn in music trends, neither can she create these trands any longer. Gaga has proven she can do both

I think MJ status may be pushing it tho

 

And Taylor was more than 5 minutes of fame the girl has been very successful over a decade now that is no blip!

One thing about Taylor was that she was always "just successful" and that is all. Kind of like Mariah Carey. But now she stands for something. And if she keeps pushing that narrative, it will do wonders for her legacy.

I think the consensus is Beyonce has already reached legend status. The next question is, who will join her? And it's between Gaga and Taylor. Rihanna retired, Adele is a bit of a different type of artist, Katy is done.

The reason I didn't mention Beyonce is that she came out way earlier

 

When I think of Beyonce's generation and female artists of her era I think Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and P!nk

 

It's kind of a different era

 

Edit: Rihanna is a bit awkward tho cuz she's right in the middle of both female artist waves coming out in 2005 lol

I can't think of Taylor Swift as a legend...

I've been stanning both since 2008. I just can't decide.

Both are legendary and talented. I do respect Taylor Swift, but Lady Gaga has range and variety in her talent that translates to different forms of media and art. Taylor Swift dominates music, but Lady Gaga dominates in music, and play in popular shows and movies. If Lady Gaga did Broadway...

Yes, she was successful, but as #1 female artist, it was 5 minutes. Nowadays it's just that. The rotation is crazy nowadays, and its consequences can be seen the careers of such artists as Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Beyonce. Gaga seems to know how to endure it staying more or less relevant all the time. She had her ups and downs, but since she recovered after ARTPOP, she keeps being more and more successful. Her tendency is rising, not falling.

Very unpopular opinion: I think Taylor is the most overrated artist of our current generation. She has consistently delivered boring and stale material, and not one song she put out has been interesting or groundbreaking in any way, shape or form. I think putting her in the same category as Gaga is laughable.

I acknowledge the girl is talented, writes her own song and is one of the most successful singers today. However, material wise her discography is terrible. Gaga is a real legend. Take away Taylor's sales and that legendary talk is out the window.

You’re right. This is an unpopular opinion.

I feel like Lady Gaga will be more of a Cher or Madonna... Versatile and iconic in artistry and cultural impact

 

Taylor Swift more like a Mariah Carey. Simply legendary for being so commercially successful for so many years with lots of hits, big tours and album sales

Legends are legends, there is no such thing as being a bigger legend than other legend, it's like saying a person is more person than another person

It's not shady tho and nothing negative was said. Simply speculating on potential

I dunno. Madonna and Cyndi Lauper are both legends of the same generation but I think it's obvious one is even more recognized for leaving a mark
