Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomenons one who was able to fully transition from the country music scene to becoming an enduring pop culture icon and conquering all over the world at the same time. Swift is shedding her country roots like they were second skins and has proven herself to be one of one of the best pop singers and songwriters in her generation. She is able to take the zeitgeist of today and create her unique. Swift's early songs, including their neo song in tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off the talents of her. But her 2008 album Fearless revealed a songwriter who was beginning to discover herself, and gaining a huge following. The album was able to have significant reach not just on the U.S. where it racked up six platinum singles on the strength of the Top Ten hits Love Story and Belong with Me Belong with Me but throughout the globe, performing especially well in the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift's next album, Speak Now, released almost two years after the first one, consolidated this momentum. It propelled Swift to superstardom. Her popularity only increased through her subsequent three albums - Red (2012) 1989 (2014) as well as Reputation (2017) Reputation (2017) which saw her move into the realm of pop where she already belonged. In the end, when she refocused her music with the stripped-down releases of 2020, Folklore, and Evermore, she still remained at the top. The position was defended by re-recordings from her past catalog, as along with Midnights which was her chart-topping synth heavy 2022 album.
