Taylor Swift's Ranking Sparks Debate
Taylor Swift has been ranked as the No.
2 greatest pop star of the 21st century by Billboard.
This has started a big argument among her fans and critics.
Swifties say she deserves the top spot because she has won many awards, like four Album of the Year Grammys, and her tour made over $1.4 billion.
They also say she is very popular on streaming sites like Spotify.
But some people disagree and think other artists, like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga, should be ranked higher.
They argue about what makes an artist great, like their singing talent, how much they influence culture, and how well they sell music.
Some critics also think Swift gets too much attention and that other artists should be recognized more.
The debate is still going strong, with fans and critics sharing their opinions online.
