Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop sensation, is one who managed to move over from country music to mainstream pop culture and become an idol of the pop culture. She also conquered the entire globe through her music. Swift shed the country influences in the sense that they had been added as an extra layer of skin, revealing she was among the most talented singers/songwriters in her time. Swift could make the occasion personal, or use the moment to benefit. Swift's talents are evident in some of the first songs she released, most notably the neodue Tim McGraw. But on the second album Fearless released in 2008 Swift discovered her true identity and gain audiences across the globe. The album ended up with a lot of legs not only on the U.S. where it racked up six platinum singles due to the Top Ten hits Love Story and Belong with Me Belong with Me but throughout the globe, performing especially well within Australia, U.K. Canada and Australia. Speak Now delivered almost two years later and consolidated this achievement and propelled Swift towards the top of stardom. Through her next three albums, Red (2012) 1989 (2004) and Reputation (2017) Reputation (2017), her popularity increased and she was able to enter the world of pop music with a clear sense of where she deserved to be. Even when she scaled back her strategy with 2020's stripped down sister album folklore, and Evermore she was still atop the pop world a position she maintained with re-recordings of her back catalog along with Midnights the top charting synth heavy 2022 collection.
