Taylor

Taylor Swift has become a uncommon pop sensation: A superstar who crossed over completely from the world of country music to pop culture, becoming the pop icon of the future that will last forever and conquering all of the world. Swift has thrown off her roots in the country as if she was shedding skins for second purposes, showing herself to be the most savvy pop singer/songwriter within her generation. She is able to tap into the current trend and make it her personal. The first songs she released including the neotribute for Tim McGraw were a testament of her ability. The second album Fearless in 2008 showcased an songwriter discovering her voice, and also a larger public. Fearless wound up having considerable reach not just on the U.S. where it racked up six platinum singles thanks to Top Ten hits Love Story and the hit single You Belong with Me but throughout the world, with a particular success in Canada, the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift took off to the peak of the charts after the release of Speak Now. Her popularity only increased over her next three albums - Red (2012) 1989 (2014), and Reputation (2017) Reputation (2017) and saw her move confidently into a pop realm in which she was already a part. Her popularity grew even after she changed her strategy with 2020's pared-down siblings the folk singer (and Evermore) and stayed atop of the pop world.
