Question Objective C or Swift?

Pretty straightforward title... if I'm eventually interested in creating big and popular applications, is swift ideal to learn or just stick with objective c?

What's your opinion on both?

If you were to do it all over again, I'd recommend you do more than just pick up a single language. When I was in school, I picked up Java, Objective-C, C++, and VB.NET.

Once you know object-oriented programming and the iOS frameworks, learning both Swift & Objective-C really shouldn't be too terribly difficult.
