The problem with this fandom is they want their fave to INSTANTLY be Taylor’s coequal (and even has delusions of surpassing Taylor).
To be the “most successful woman in the industry”, you need to be *the* most successful artist OVERALL on the planet. To be able to match (or even surpass) Taylor, you would have to surpass:
- Billie, Sab, and Ariana (ALL her *current* peers, not just one, and not just in a specific metric)
- Bruno, Beyoncé, *and* The Weeknd
- Morgan, Harry, *and* BTS (the 500K debut territory on Billboard 200)
- Drake *and* Bad Bunny
- Adele
- 800K debut territory
- 1M debut territory (which Taylor has *long* surpassed)
- 2M debut territory
- 3M debut territory
- 4M debut territory
You would have to be the singularity, *the* biggest star alive, the industry-shaping, era-defining, needle-moving figure that Taylor is, just to be able to match her. And you would have to OUTDO that if you ever wish to become “the most”.
Instead, this fandom wants a shortcut and couldn’t even be bothered to go through all these ladder steps they’ve yet to climb and instead secretly wish that Taylor would just pass her crown and willingly hand over the keys to the kingdom, to let their fave absorb the astronomical chunk of the pie that Taylor has cultivated throughout her career, as if it were an inheritance that they can demand for their fave anytime they want.
Know your place and put in the work, ffs. The music industry is not a charity.
todas nos llevaríamos mejor si las fans de taylor fueran capaces de asumir que olivia tiene potencial para convertirse en la mujer más exitosa de la industria y las fans de olivia fueran capaces de reconocer que olivia anda por el camino que taylor construyó
