Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop phenomenon is a star who was able to transcend over from country music to mainstream pop culture and become an idol of the world of pop. Swift also took on the entire globe in the process. Swift removed the influences of country like they were an extra layer of skin. She revealed that she was among the finest singers/songwriters from the generation she was born into. Swift could make the moment personal or harness the moment to benefit. The skills she displayed were apparent on her earliest hits especially the Neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album, 2008's Fearless showed a writer discovering the person she really was, and in the process finding an audience of mass. Fearless had a great success not only in America, but also with six platinum-certified singles. The Top Ten songs Love Story & You Belong with Me were the primary reasons behind this. But, it also did well all over the world. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that popularity and pushed Swift into the stratosphere of superstardom. She grew in popularity through the three albums that followed - Red (2012), 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017). Swift was now firmly established within the genre she was a part of. However, even when she reduced her approach with 2020's stripped-down siblings' folklore and Evermore she remained atop the pop world a position she kept with the re-recordings of her back catalog along with Midnights her chart-topping synth-heavy 2022 album.
