Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop sensation, is one who was able to transcend between the genres of country and mainstream pop culture and become an idol of the world of pop. Swift also took on all over the world in the process. Swift shed her roots in country music as if she was a second skin, and revealed that she was the most refined pop sensibility of the time. Swift was the only musician/singer to follow the zeitgeist of popular music on the road. Swift's talents could be seen in her first tracks, including the neodue Tim McGraw. But on her sophomore album Fearless that came out in 2008, she was able to discover who she is and find a wide audience. Fearless became an enormous success not just in America which is where its Top Ten singles Love Story and Belong with Me helped it to achieve six platinum records but also around the world. The album was particularly successful across Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that achievement and propelled Swift into the stratosphere of stardom. In the following three years, Swift's popularity increased through the years -three times - Red (2012), Reputation (2014), and 1989 (2014-2015) during which time she moved into a world of pop music with her skills already well established. Even when she scaled back her approach with 2020's stripped-down sibling releases folklore and Evermore she continued to be atop of the world of pop, a position she maintained with re-recordings of her earlier catalog, as well as Midnights the top charting synth heavy 2022 album.
