Unbelievable; Taylor Swift fans outraged after Billboard releases greatest pop star chart: ‘A complete joke!’

Taylor Swift fans are going ballistic on social media after learning that Billboard ranked her the second greatest pop star of the 21st century.

After bestowing her the covetable title, the outlet recognized that the inevitable controversy that would ‘tear through the internet over her being just one small space below No. 1 is just another testament to her power.’

While defending their decision not to give Swift, 34, the top spot, which will presumably go to musical powerhouse Beyoncé, Billboard reminded readers that Swift got a ‘much later’ start in the millennium in both ‘the genre and music in general.’

Still, Swifties were, as expected, enraged by the editorial decision made by Billboard’s staff, who undertook the difficult task of ranking the top 25 greatest pop stars of the 21st century.

Underneath the announcement on Instagram, a number of Swift fans expressed their outrage as they referred to the list as a ‘joke’ and firmly insisted the Fortnight hitmaker had been ‘robbed.’

‘This is pathetic and should ACTUALLY be corrected,’ one commented. ‘Who approved this list? First of all, yalls bs lists are always unbelievably inaccurate.’
