Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop phenomenon is a star who managed to move across the border between country music and mainstream culture, and has become an iconic figure in the pop world. Taylor Swift has also ruled every continent by doing so. Swift shed her country roots as though they were part of her skin, revealing she could be the most pop-oriented singer/songwriter of her time, person who could take advantage of the current zeitgeist and make it personal and also perform in the opposite direction. This was evident in her very first singles, including Neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album, 2008's Fearless showed a writer discovering who she was and in the process, finding a mass audience. Fearless ended up being hugely popular, not just in the U.S., with six platinum-certified singles thanks of the Top Ten songs Love Story & You Belong with Me. It also enjoyed success in international countries like The U.K. Canada & Australia. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that success and helped propel Swift into the stratosphere of fame. Swift gained popularity throughout the course of her three subsequent albums, Red (2012) and 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017) as well as had established herself in an industry she felt was hers to be. When she scaled her music back with the stripped-down releases of the year 2020, folklore and Evermore, she still ruled the world of pop. That position was further maintained through re-recordings of her previous catalog, as well Midnights which was her highest-selling synth-heavy album set for 2022.
