In that respect, Taylor Swift is comparable to neither Carole King and the Carpenters nor to Ed Sheeran. I don't think Taylor Swift will ever have a legacy interesting enough to rank with the former, but she will certainly have a substantial legacy whether you like her music or not, unlike Ed Sheeran, who has never done anything or interest to music
I bet if you were to ask your average American high schooler who George Harrison or John Paul Jones are, the vast majority wouldn't be able to tell you.
