Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop phenomenon is a star who has managed to cross from the country genre to mainstream pop culture and become an idol of the pop culture. The singer also swept all over the world during the course of her journey. Swift shed her roots in country music as if she was a second skin and proved that she was the most refined pop sensibility of her generation. Swift was the only artist/singer who could follow the zeitgeist of popular music out on the road. This was evident in her first hits, particularly the neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album, 2008's Fearless showcased a songwriter discovering her true identity and in the process, finding a mass audience. Fearless went on to become a global hit and not just in the United States (where it was certified with six platinum awards for Top Ten Hits Love Story as well as "You Belong with Me") however, in Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. as well as other nations. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that achievement and propelled Swift to the heights of fame. The next three albums she released, Red (2012) 1989 (2004) and Reputation (2017), the popularity of Swift grew, and she was able to enter a world of pop music in which it became clear she deserved to be. The popularity of her music grew after she altered her plan in 2020's more streamlined siblings folklore (and Evermore) and stayed in the forefront of pop culture.
