Taylor swift vs Michael jackson, whos more famous?

[ChangeMefot]

I see people compare Taylor to MJ a lot, but I don't see any similarities. I think he was way more famous than her.

MJ

TS

[NobodyXox]

I feel like they're equally famous. I don't think the whole world knows them, but a lot of people know their names. And I think a lot of people can sing along with a lot of their songs.
But Taylor has a very big and obsessive fan base that know every line to every song and the whole meaning behind them. And they know all the people in her life etc.
I don't think Michael has a fan base that comes even close. There are probably more people that can sing and probably also perform Taylor's songs than Michael's songs. So I did pick Taylor.

Lol you need to learn more about Michael jackson

[ChangeMefot]

Glad most people see the truth here

[NobodyXox]

Taylor has 106 million listeners every month.
Michael has 66 million.
You asked who is more famous and well know.
But how you're reacting right now sounds like you wanted to ask "who's a better artist/performer/singer" etc.
There's a difference.

[ChangeMefot]

No lol you can't compare MJ today 15 years after his death to current taylor.

That's ridiculous.

[ChangeMefot]

You need to compare their prime

Most people see that, as you can see in the poll

[NobodyXox]

Because the average age in this post is pretty high, people tend to be stuck in time and think the music in their prime is better than current music. They see it as a attack when you don't agree, like you are acting. Why are you even asking the question if you know that you would just feel offended when someone doesn't agree...
But looking at numbers, fans and sales Taylor is the bigger artist.
I'm not saying she's better. Just more famous.

[ChangeMefot]

Lol you are a hypocrite, you are literally doing the same, thinking taylor is more famous because you didn't live in mjs era. You can least look his numbers up.

If you look at ages in this post, there are people your age saying MJ is more famous, so your point is moot.

I’m not being hypocritical, I’m just using actual data instead of nostalgia. Taylor Swift is bigger than Michael Jackson in today’s music landscape. Michael sold around 350 million albums worldwide, with Thriller alone selling about 70 million copies, still the best-selling album ever. Taylor has sold over 200 million albums globally, including 100 million certified in the US, and she’s still at her peak and probably isn't stopping any time soon. She’s the first and only artist to achieve 100 million US-certified album sales, has 14 Grammys, including a record four Album of the Year wins, 13 number-one albums on the Billboard 200 (the most for a female artist), and 12 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles.

Her Eras Tour grossed $1.4 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time, and her re-recordings consistently top global charts—something no artist has ever done before. She has more than 120 songs with over 100 million Spotify streams, and her catalog has surpassed 80 billion total streams. Michael Jackson was the biggest star of his era, but he peaked before streaming, social media, and digital sales. Taylor dominates every measurable modern category—sales, touring, streaming, awards, and cultural impact—while maintaining a fan base that’s unmatched in scale and dedication.

Michael’s fame defined the 80s. Taylor defines the entire modern music industry.

Lol haha

Taylor just became famous in Europe, Latin America in recent years.

She was a B list artist there or less before. MJ is still 100x bigger than her there.

She's a nobody in Africa, MJ was huge there.

Point is, Taylor is local to usa and English countries compared to MJ.

She's nowhere near his fame or success.

[jazzy34]

The King over some pop singer. Not even CLOSE.

[slatyb]

Do you mean at their most popular, or now? Now it´s Taylor Swift by a large margin. Many of her fans were born after Michael Jackson´s death in 2009. If you mean at their peak, I have no idea.

[Staximus]

Who cares? Michael Jackson is a dead pederast. If there's a hell, he's getting fucked in the ass by Satan.

[AI Opinion]

Both Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson are iconic figures in the music industry, but their fame stems from different eras and contexts. Michael Jackson, often referred to as the "King of Pop," revolutionized music with groundbreaking albums and performances. Taylor Swift, in her own right, is a global superstar with a massive fan base and influence over modern music. Comparing their fame is challenging, given social media's amplifying effect today. Both have left significant marks on the world of music, each in their own unique way. 🌟

Michael Jackson noo way Taylor swift will ever compare

[AngryCarl2]

The only thing TS and MJ have in common is they both like boys.

[PeterLegg91]

Is this a trick question? Its michael Jackson by a billion miles

[AviatorTom]

No contest. MJ

[In_Trance]

Equal

[ChangeMefot]

Lmao

[Darklydarkened]

At his day, even some random Nepali oldtimer living in mountains would probably know who Michael Jackson is.

Even I don't know a single Swift song proper

[HighSchoolCustodian]

Michael Jackson.
