I feel like Taylor could easily be a nobody (Like Katy Perry) in the future, or if she does wrong career moves, but Beyonce will always have that legendary status no matter what she does.

Beyoncé has a longer career than Taylor. That’ll put her in the lead. 

[4th Time Around 4,433]

Beyonce has been relevant for much longer and has a much better discography in terms of critical acclaim but it's hard to argue against the sheer scale of commercial success that Taylor has achieved. I can't confidently make a prediction on this one

Here's the unexpected but deserved #1

Either way the stan wars will be fun to watch safely from behind my computer.

 

(I don't really like either, so I will just make some popcorn and enjoy the show.)

The McDonald's of the music industry, Taylor Swift.

Statistically speaking Taylor should take it but sheer impact and longevity should go to Beyonce.

Both are critically acclaimed (almost defaultly) so they tie in that regard. 

idk...it's a close call. If BB weighs stats more heavily it should go to Taylor but if BB is giving this based on longevity and overall impact on music it should maybe go to Beyonce (not that Taylor hasn't had impact...she definetly has whether we like it or not...her musical daughters are taking over at the moment: Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Olivia Rodrigo etc).

beyonce should. she's been active since the beginning of this century so she has advantage of those 7/8 years

actually, worldwide.. both are not that big outside of Europe.

[StrawberryBlond 14,656]

I think it'll be Beyonce. She's been around longer, has more awards, has more impactful songs in the US and worldwide, has made an impact in the industry as regards putting on an all-singing all-dancing stadium show (popstars were only really expected to tour stadiums when she did it) and started the trend of surprise albums and visual albums.

And you know, everyone gotta thank Beyonce, apparently. If you know, you know.

girl we're only 24 years into the century, this list will be worth NOTHING in 2099. with that being said, #1 is Lady Gaga.
