The music industry is quite possibly the hardest to take part in. There is a constant competition to top the charts while remaining true to who you are. There is even more competition when listeners come into the picture.​

Adele's newest release, "Hello," is blowing up Vevo as we breathe, and recently broke Taylor Swift's record for highest number of views within twenty-four hours. Taylor's "Bad Blood" had held the record with twenty million views, and Adele's song reached over twenty-seven million. Now, the comments section on "Bad Blood" is filled with remarks bashing the pop superstar, saying that Adele is better. But is this really necessary?

This is not a new concept in the music industry. Competition between artists has been going on for decades. Some examples? *NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys . One Direction vs. The Wanted. Little Mix vs. Fifth Harmony. Although there is no conflict between the performers, some listeners feel the need to create a divide. A few may say that if you like one artist then you can't enjoy listening to the other's music. What if someone likes both artists that are "feuding?" They are shunned by those who think they have to pick.​

Music is supposed to bring people together, not tear them apart. You like The Vamps? Cool. You like 5 Seconds of Summer also? That's cool too. Some people need to realize that not everything is a competition.​

Back to the "battle" between Adele and Taylor. They are both incredibly talented singers and songwriters. They sing about similar things, but some Adele fans may hate on Taylor for writing about breakups and some Taylor fans may do the same. This is another example of useless arguing. Who cares what they write about? They sing what they feel, and if Taylor is feeling upset over a past relationship or Adele wants to send a message to someone she used to love, then let them.​

Many people believe that this whole "musicians can't get along" thing is getting old. Listen to whatever music you want. Who cares if someone says you can't like one artist because you like another one? Don't let them deceive you.​
