Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop stars: a superstar who managed to seamlessly transition from the country music scene to becoming an enduring pop culture icon and conquering the world in the process. Swift shed her roots in country music like a second-skin and proved she had the finest pop sensibility of the time. Swift was the only musician/singer to follow the zeitgeist of popular music on the road. The evidence was clear in her early songs, particularly in her neo pay homage towards Tim McGraw. On her 2nd album, Fearless (2008), Swift showcased a writer getting to get acquainted with her. Fearless was an enormous success not just in America which is where its Top Ten singles Love Story, and You Belong with Me helped it to achieve six platinum records but also around the world. The album was particularly successful in Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. Swift's second album Speak Now, released almost two years after the first one, consolidated this success. It propelled Swift into the spotlight. With the three albums that followed (Reputation 2017, 1989 2014, and Red 2012) Red 2012, 1989 2014 as well as Reputation 2017. her fame only grew. This was a sure sign she had moved to a new pop world where she fit in. Even when she scaled back her style with the 2020's stripped-down sister album folklore, and Evermore she continued to be atop of the pop world a position she maintained with re-recordings of her older catalogs as well as Midnights which was her top-charting synthesizer 2022 set.
