John Lennon famously once said The Beatles were “more popular than Jesus.” Well, in 2024, Taylor Swift is more popular than The Beatles.

The country-upstart-turned-pop-superstar — known for hits like “Shake It Off,” “Cruel Summer” and “Love Story” — simply owns popular culture now. Swift has sold more than 114 million albums worldwide. Her “The Eras Tour” sold-out stadiums across the globe the last two years. Her film documenting that tour has made around $250 million, making it the biggest concert film ever.
