THERE’S NO DENYING that Taylor Swift is a pretty divisive performer; some love her and some loathe her, simple as.

But if you thought Taylor’s supporters were hardcore, they have absolutely nothing on Britney Spears’ supporters.

This week, The New York Post made a pretty brave decision by claiming that every single one of Britney’s accomplishments over the course of her 20-year career will forever be overshadowed by Taylor Swift’s.

In an article entitled ‘Everything Britney Did, Taylor Does Better’, Chuck Arnold dissects the womens’ careers and ultimately crowns Taylor the winner.

And Twitter isn’t having it; not by a long shot.

Here are just some of the most indignant reactions to the suggestion that Britney Spears is anything other than the ultimate queen of pop.

1. The shade is real (and hilarious)

britney is literally carrying taylor in that pic what is even the point of this https://t.co/xTbyP0Z8cY

2. Won’t somebody think of the children?

No shade. Taylor swift could never Britney better than Britney. Stop lying to the children.

5. Miley Cyrus even questioned the comparison, lads.

Taylor shades Miley on National Television

Smilers:

Miley likes a post supporting Britney saying her and Taylor aren’t comparable.
