Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop phenomenon is a star who managed to move between the genres of country and mainstream pop culture and become an iconic figure in the world of pop. She also conquered the entire globe in the process. Swift removed the influences of country like they were an extra layer of skin. She revealed that she was one of the finest singers/songwriters from her generation. Swift could make the occasion personal, or use it for her benefit. These skills were evident on her early hits including the Neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album, 2008's Fearless featured a singer-songwriter figuring out her true identity and in the process, finding an audience of mass. Fearless was an enormous success not just in America where the Top Ten singles Love Story as well as You Belong with Me helped it to break six platinum records but also around the world. It was a huge success across Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. Swift soared to the top of the charts when she released Speak Now. The three subsequent albums the three albums that followed -- Red 2012 1989, Red 2012 and Reputation 2017 -- her popularity only increased. This was a sure indication that she was in an entirely new world of pop where she fit in. She stayed at the top of pop even after she changed her style with her sibling albums Folklore and Evermore in the year 2020.
