Taylor

Taylor Swift has become a uncommon pop sensation: a star who strayed completely from country music to pop culture and became a pop star that is enduring as she captures the hearts and minds of millions throughout the world. Swift has shed her roots in the country genre as a third layer, revealing herself as the most sophisticated pop singer and songwriter of the generation she was born into. Swift was able make use of current trends and make it her individual. Swift's talents were obvious on 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 the mass market. The album was hugely successful and not just in America, in which six of the singles were certified platinum on the backs of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and you Belong with Me. But it also performed well around all over the world. Speak Now delivered almost two years later, which consolidated the success and helped propel Swift towards the top of fame. Over the next three years her fame was growing in three different albums -- Red (2012), Reputation (2014) and 1989 (2014-2015) (2014-2015) -- as Swift entered the realm of pop music where her skills were already well established. She continued to be at the top of pop even when she refocused her music through her albums with folklore in 2020 and Evermore.
