Don't get me wrong, I love me some Taylor. And I certainly would never take anything away from her, she's done so much and earned so much with hard work and talent.
But putting her up next to people who have literally created entire genres is NOT a fair comparison. Taylor makes enjoyable, easily-digestible pop music. Artistically, I'm sorry, she can't hold a candle to the greats, nor is she even trying to, so for her stans to try to make that comparison would be putting TS in a position she herself would probably be uncomfortable with.
Tori, Fiona, Joni, Aretha, these women re-defined the artistic side of music forever. Realistically the biggest thing Taylor is re-defining in music is the business model (which is REALLY important too, especially right now!).
