She’s great Taylor is an amazing artist love her music, however Whitney Houston (Bowie etc) never had all the benefits & perks of internet or social media to boost sales & promote songs like all modern day artists have who now reach so many & have their songs heard by the masses.

Doing it without the ability to sing makes it more impressive

queen tingz wbk💅

Baaaah. Stevie Nicks shows whiney Taylor Swift how it’s done

Both excellent artists

That’s too bad because Whitney Houston was a superior songstress by far.

Half of the people In the comments are acting like Karen’s like if this was any other Music Artist y’all will be praising them but since it’s Taylor it’s different because everyone loves to hate on her.

Oh yeah- this is important stuff.

Congratulations Taylor, both queens

Whitney was a drug addict. TAYLOR ROCKS!

haters gonna hate

taylet wish she was as great as Whitney👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

People commenting that Whitney is better but can't name more than 5 of her songs.

Can get why yall so mad? People buy, people stream, it is not her fault that she makes good music, stop saying 'white girl' its racist, and stop saying 'she writes break up songs' when all men do the same and when shes in a 4 years old relationship, its sexist

Bought and paid for.

Only FAKE news CNN can make up head-lies 🤥 like this 🤣😂🤣 Whitney Houston was a LEGEND and no woman has topped her voice yet and achievements! FakeNewsMedia FakeNewsCNN

Two legends in their own way

Please support or Retweet

TAYLOR SWIFT DID THAT

to the people in the comments: taylor has her strong points, and whitney has hers. taylors songwriting is on another level while whitney’s voice is on another level. i don’t know why some people can’t accept the fact that they’re both legends. they’re both queens.

Istg y’all better not make this a war and disrespect whitney’s memory. Both are queens and thats that ✨ Congrats taylor!

I'm crying the boomers and locals all got ratioed here 😭😭💀

We love you TaylorSwift13!

Both queens. No need for people to tear the other down just because you don’t care for an artist.

Locals will be angry 😂😂😂😂 IDIOTS AND MORONS who keep comparing two different artist because taylor surpasses Whitney's record lol 😂 Records are meant to be broken. Y'all karen and steve are the worst in replies.

Congratulations Taylor. But Whitney Houston is the Queen

not the steves being pressed 😭

TSwiftLA All know Women support women in music industry .but why are boomers and Karens are so obsessed with Taylor.Records are meant to be broken.There are over 7 billion people in the world.Even if u don't like her,there are still many people like her.

folklorealbum13 Congratulations taylorswift13, both queens! ✨

Swift surpasses Whitney. What a racist thing to say. And cnn no less. Will miracles never cease?

omg taylor swift artist of the millenium

It’s what Taylor deserves!!!

Swiftie4Lyfe27 Blasphemy

Growing up listening to the great Whitney, this makes me so happy & proud of Taylor! Both are monumental stars in their own right - making history, smashing records and setting their own paths for future generations! Let’s lift them both up with so much love as they deserve!✨

Yall are pressed for what

Men really complain about how Taylor can't keep a man..under a tweet about her success. Men really can't shut up when women succeed... what's hurting boy? ur balloon size ego?

Taylor deserved. Whitney had a marvelous time holding that record but it’s time she handed it over.

Obviously because she is white! This is ridiculous. LET'S RIOT, I MEAN PROTES OUT SIDE OF TAYLOR SWIFT'S HOUSE!!

No

We don’t care!

TWO LEGENDS

not everyone getting pressed 😭 records are meant to be broken lmao

taylor and whitney LEGENDS

Can people stop saying that one is better than the other?! Idk Whitney Houston’s discography, but the fact that no one has beat her record until now shows how great of an artist she was/is. Ppl need to accept that Taylor deserves this accomplishment. She’s such a talent artist!💕

Please. Just stop.
