Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomenons: a superstar who managed to seamlessly transition from the country music scene to making her an iconic popular icon, and sweeping all over the world at the same time. Swift is shedding her country roots like it were a second-skin showing herself to be the most savvy pop singer/songwriter of her time. She is able to tap into the current trend and create her personal. Her talents could be seen in her first tracks, including the Neodue Tim McGraw. But on her second album Fearless that came out in 2008, she discovered the person she was and reach a wide audience. The album was able to have significant reach not just within the U.S. where it racked the record with six platinum singles, due to the Top Ten hits Love Story and the hit single You Belong with Me but throughout the world, with a particular success with Canada, the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift's new album Speak Now, released nearly two years following the first one, consolidated the success of this album. It propelled Swift to the heights of fame. In the three albums that followed (Reputation 2017, 1989 2014, and Red 2012) Red 2012, 1989 2014 as well as Reputation 2017 -- Swift's fame only grew. That was an obvious indicator that Swift had entered an entirely new world of pop that she could be part of. As she cut her style with the stripped-down releases of 2020, folklore, and Evermore but she was still on top. This position was maintained through re-recordings of her previous catalog as along with Midnights, her synth-heavy chart-topping 2022 album.
