Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop sensation, is one who managed to move between the genres of country and mainstream pop culture and became an idol of the pop world. Swift also swept worldwide through her music. Swift has shed her country roots as though they were part of her skin revealing that she was perhaps the smartest contemporary singer/songwriter in her generation someone who was able to harness the zeitgeist make it personal and just as impressively perform the reverse. Swift's first hits, particularly the neo tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off her skills. But the album she released in 2008 Fearless proved that she was a songwriter that was growing and gaining a huge following. Fearless achieved huge popularity and not just in America, which is where six singles were certified platinum on the backs of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and Belong with Me. But it also performed well around the globe. Swift managed to build upon her popularity with Speak Now almost two year following. It was only after that her popularity grew exponentially over her next three albums -The Red Album, 1989 (2014) Red (2012) 1989 (2014) as well as Reputation (2017) Reputation (2017) and found her moving assuredly into the world of pop, where she already belonged. When she scaled her music back to the more stripped-down versions of 2020, folklore as well as Evermore however, she was still the king of the pop world. That position was further maintained by re-recordings from her past catalogue as well as Midnights, her top-charting synth-heavy planned for 2022.
