Is Taylor Swift the new Madonna? At least, ace fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee doesn't think so. In a chat with Harper's Bazaar, Sabyasachi said he thinks Taylor Swift is a more “talented” musician than Madonna, but when it comes to marketing, few can argue with what Madonna has produced.

What Sabasachi said
The video was shared on Instagram by the official account of Harper's Bazaar India. When Sabyasachi was asked if he thought Taylor Swift was the new Madonna, he replied: Taylor is a much more talented musician than Madonna. But what Madonna did was he learned to package himself. I respect people who have the ability to create something out of nothing. To me Madonna is a great example of how to generate business as a marketing genius. Although she had very little, she achieved so much. ”
User reaction
Sabyasachi's response did not sit well with many users, who criticized the designer's comments for pitting two women in the industry against each other. Many also thought the question itself was unnecessary. The comment read, “Every generation has people and idols who break the mold, and that's great. When I was 9 years old, Madonna, MJ, and Mariah changed my destiny. Even though times have changed.'' , not that we need to compare. Rather, let's respect each pioneer and learn from them. Compare the talkers, not the doers.”
Another commented: “Let's give credit where credit is due. Madonna's legacy is the foundation on which these divas stand.” They thanked the original queen of pop for paving the way. I was just stating the facts! ” “Why would you ask a fashion designer a question like that?” asked another user.
Sabyasachi is one of the most popular designers in the industry. Most recently, he designed Deepika Padukone's golden saree look for the BAFTAs.
