Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop phenomenon is a star who managed to move over from country music to mainstream pop culture and become an idol of the pop culture. Swift also took on all over the world through her music. Swift shed country like it was a second layer, showing that she's perhaps the smartest pop-singer/songwriter her generation. One who can harness the mood of times to make her music personal, and perform in the opposite. Her early songs including the neotribute for Tim McGraw were a testament to her talent. However, her second album Fearless of 2008 proved to be the songwriter finding her voice and a wider public. Fearless wound up having considerable reach not just within the U.S. where it racked seven platinum singles thanks to Top Ten hits Love Story and You Belong with Me but throughout the globe, performing especially well within Canada, the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift's next album Speak Now, released almost two years after the first one, consolidated the success of this album. It propelled Swift into the spotlight. The next three years, Swift's popularity grew -the albums - Red (2012), Reputation (2014) as well as 1989 (2014-2015) -- as she moved into a world of pop music with her skills already established. In the end, when she refocused her music to the stripped-down versions of 2020, folklore, and Evermore but she was still in the top spot. It was a position that was confirmed by re-recordings from her past catalog as along with Midnights which was her chart-topping synth heavy 2022 album.
