If you think Taylor Swift's legacy will be comparable to those two then I'd say she's done really well for herself.

Lord almighty! Read what I said! I said that Karen and Carole are not remembered by THIS generation, not their generation! Of course they were huge back in the 70s and 80s and I love both, but ask any young person today who either were and they're likely to ask if maybe their new mixtape has dropped. I'm pointing out that someone who was huge in their time does not, with the current attention span of music fans of this generation, go on being so. And so when Swift or Sheeran pass on, let's say in forty/fifty years or more, our descendants are more likely to say, who were they than there goes another legend.
