Taylor Swift is this year’s TIME “Person of the Year” and in that interview, she has opened up about a lot, starting from her career, her romantic life, and the treatment of the media. It is in this interview that she also opened up about the comparisons between her and Beyoncé’s tour. On Wednesday, on the cover story of Time Magazine, the 33-year-old “Anti-Hero” singer talked about her years-long friendship with Queen Bey. “She’s the most precious gem of a person — warm and open and funny,” Taylor said of the “Drunk in Love” star. “And she’s such a great disrupter of music-industry norms. She taught every artist how to flip the table and challenge archaic business practices,” Swift continued.

The global pop star went ahead and addressed one of the most recurring themes in this year’s pop culture conversations. Both the “Karma” singer and “Single Ladies” musician went on tour this year: Swift embarked on her infamous “Eras Tour” and Beyoncé joined the road with her Renaissance World Tour. Now both tours have been extremely successful, in terms of revenues and critical acclaim; however, there is still an ongoing debate among fans and the media about which tour is better than the other, or which one is more successful than the other.
Addressing this unnecessary debate that has been going on online since the start of both tours, Swift seemed to appear angry and disappointed. In the interview, she said, “There were so many stadium tours this summer, but the only ones that were compared were me and Beyoncé.” “Clearly it’s very lucrative for the media and stan culture to pit two women against each other, even when those two artists in question refuse to participate in that discussion,” she continued.
It is not just the fact that two of the world’s biggest pop stars went on tour in the same year, both Swift and Bey also had their concert films out this year, both distributed through AMC Theaters.
However, to show their immense support for each other, Bey attended the Los Angeles premiere of Eras first and then Swift returned the favor by being present at the London premiere of Renaissance. “I’m so glad. I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without Beyoncé’s influence,” Taylor wrote on Instagram after the Eras premier. “Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairy tale,” she continued while showing her gratitude toward Beyoncé.
