Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop stars one who was able to seamlessly transition from the country music scene to and become a enduring popular icon, and sweeping all over the world at the same time. Swift shed her country roots like they were a second skin to reveal that she was arguably the smartest populist singer/songwriter of her generation someone who was able to harness the zeitgeist make it personal and just as impressively perform opposite. This was evident in her early hits including the neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album, 2008's Fearless featured a singer-songwriter figuring out her true identity and, in doing so, gaining the mass market. Fearless was successful not only in the United States, having six platinum-certified singles. Its Top Ten songs Love Story & You Belong with Me were the most important reasons. It also performed exceptionally well throughout the world. Swift's Speak Now album released two years ago, consolidated her prior success, and catapulted the singer into superstardom. The next three years, her popularity grew with the release of three albums -the albums - Red (2012), Reputation (2014) as well as 1989 (2014-2015) in 2014-2015 as she entered a new world of pop music with her skills already well-established. Her popularity grew even after she changed her strategy in 2020's more streamlined siblings the folk singer (and Evermore) and stayed atop of the pop world.
