With their spectacular exploits, Lionel Messi, 36, and Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, have permanently changed the history of football. Messi and Ronaldo have a total of 12 Ballon d’Or honours between them, with the Argentine winning seven and the Portuguese striker winning five. However, two of the most influential football players of all time were beaten by American pop icon Taylor Swift.
Due to her outstanding albums, Swift is recognised as one of the most recognisable musicians of the twenty-first century. The American singer has sold more than 200 million albums and won 12 Grammys. In addition, she holds 101 Guinness World Records.
Pop Star too hot to handle for Messi, Ronaldo!
Taylor Swift, according to El Diario, has eclipsed them in popularity, based on their Google search volumes. Taylor hit the peak of Google trends in the United States on the afternoon of September 19th. She stayed in that position for several hours. While the footballers started to fall. The American actress has a Google Trends average of 46 points, and her most popular week was between July 9 and 15, 2023.
Messi’s search volume on him averaged nine points, which is far less than Swift’s score. With 22 points, Ronaldo does marginally better. Some believe their recent exit from European football is to blame for their decline in popularity.’

Lionel Messi presently plays for David Beckham’s Inter Miami team in the Major League Soccer. He left PSG this summer after his deal with the Ligue 1 powerhouse expired. Contrarily, Cristiano Ronaldo represents the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr. After Manchester United cancelled his contract with the team last year, he joined the Saudi Pro League team in January.
Both players continue to perform well and captain their clubs and countries despite their advanced ages. Because of their success on the football over the past 15 years, Ronaldo and Messi have enjoyed tremendous popularity. But it’s obvious that their appeal is dwindling as they approach the end of their careers.
