Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop star, is a superstar who was able to transcend over from country music to mainstream culture, and has become an idol of the pop world. The singer also conquered the entire globe through her music. Swift left behind the country roots she was raised with like it's a second instinct and demonstrated that she's the most talented pop-singer/songwriter in the current generation. Swift could make the moment personal while also capturing the mood. This was evident in her earliest hits especially the neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album in 2008's Fearless showcased a songwriter discovering the person she really was, and in the process, finding a mass audience. Fearless ended up having a significant performances not just in U.S. where it racked up six platinum singles on the strength of the Top Ten hits Love Story and Belong with Me Belong with Me but throughout the globe, performing especially well in the U.K. Canada and Australia. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that success and propelled Swift towards the top of fame. Over the next three years, her popularity was growing with the release of three albums -three times - Red (2012), Reputation (2014) and 1989 (2014-2015) -- as she moved into a realm of pop where her talents were well-established. When she did scale back her strategy with 2020's stripped down sister album folklore, and Evermore she remained atop the charts, a place that she maintained by rerecordings from her older catalogs as well as Midnights which was her top-charting synthesizer 2022 album.
