Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are both famous superstars of world music. Recently, both female singers were honored in a Google statistic. Notably, BLACKPINK was also named in this category.
Recently, Google also launched a special version to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the birth of the largest search engine on the planet. Not just stopping at yearly statistics, Google has told us over the past 25 years what are the most searched names in each field.
Accordingly, “Queen Bee” Beyoncé’s “super stage” of a lifetime at Coachella 2018 was honored as the most searched performance on Google. Beyoncé’s stage at Coachella 2018 caused a global “shock” at the time it took place because of the monumental investment and impressive message the female artist conveyed. The audience called Beyoncé’s legendary stage at Coachella by its own name Beychella to show the influence of this event.
Beyoncé’s concerts often attract great attention from the music community. As one of the most successful artists in the world with more than 100 million records released globally, Beyoncé has many noble awards such as Grammy, Billboard, MTV. She is considered one of the most influential and successful artists worldwide, twice honored by Forbes as “The most powerful woman in the world’s entertainment industry” in 2015 and 2017.

Forbes voted Taylor the 5th most powerful woman in the world and the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry. The Eras Tour in October helped Taylor Swift become a billionaire.
During her impressive career, Taylor Swift has repeatedly said she also wants to be introduced more as a musician, not a singer. However, Taylor Swift is clearly still the current number 1 artist in the world with almost “undefeated” achievements in most fields she participates in.

In an interview with TIME, Taylor Swift bluntly criticized those who put her and the “Queen Bee” on the scale to compete with each other. Not stopping there, the singer born in 1989 also praised Beyoncé and called her “senior” “the most precious gem – warm, open and funny”.
Beyoncé and Taylor Swift were both compared when they released films documenting their tours. However, in response to these “imaginary competition”, the two artists openly attended each other’s movie premieres.
“I’m so happy because I would never have known what my life would have been like without Beyoncé’s influence. She has been a guiding light throughout my career and having her appear tonight is like a true fairy tale,” Taylor Swift shared after Beyoncé attended the premiere of The Eras Tour.
Taylor also responded to Beyoncé’s beautiful gesture a month later, when the concert film of the star with the most Grammy awards in history was premiered in London (UK).
In 2021, both women had a big night at the Grammys as Taylor won album of the year for folklore and Beyoncé became the most Grammy-winning female artist of all time.
At that time, Beyoncé sent Taylor a beautiful bouquet of flowers with the message: “Congratulations on your Grammy a.ward. It was great to see you on Sunday night. Thank you for your continued support. Sending love.” to you and your family.” The owner of the hit song Look What You Made Me Do then also posted a photo of this gift and sent her thanks to the female singer.
