Taylor Swift has nothing but congratulations for Beyoncé for the new honour.
The popstar is expressing her support for the songstress after she was named the greatest pop star of the 21st century by Billboard.
According to an insider who spoke to Page Six, Swift is thrilled for her fellow artist.
“Taylor will always support strong female artists and thinks Beyoncé is so deserving of this honor,” the source shared.
While Swift’s fans were vocal about their disappointment over the Karma singer being ranked as the runner-up, the 34-year-old reportedly holds no hard feelings.
“Taylor appreciates all the fan support she’s received but she knows Beyoncé is a legend in the music industry and Taylor’s honored to have landed in the number two spot next to her,” the insider added.
Swift, who has achieved record-breaking success throughout her career, remains proud of her achievements.
“Taylor is proud of what she’s accomplished regardless of what spot she holds,” the source noted.
Billboard announced the rankings last week, placing Swift second behind Beyoncé, 43, who claimed the top spot on Tuesday.
The outlet explained their decision, stating, “While Taylor Swift is the century’s biggest pop star by the numbers, Beyoncé tops our staff-chosen editorial list based on her full 25 years of influence, impact, evolution.”
