Taylor

Taylor Swift has become a rare pop phenomenon: A celebrity who has strayed from traditional music into pop culture, turning into the pop icon of the future that will be around forever, and will conquer everywhere. Swift shed country like it was an additional layer of herself, proving that she is perhaps the smartest pop-singer/songwriter her generation. Someone who is able to harness the zeitgeist to make it personal and also perform in the opposite. Swift's early songs, including their neo tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off her talents. However, her album Fearless revealed a songwriter who was re-discovering herself and was able to draw a wide audience. The album ended up with a lot of appeal not just in the U.S. where it racked the record with six platinum singles, on the strength of the Top Ten hits Love Story and You Belong with Me but throughout the world, with a particular success in the U.K. Canada and Australia. The Swift's Speak Now album released two years ago consolidated her previous successes, propelling her into superstardom. Over the next three years, her popularity was growing -the albums - Red (2012), Reputation (2014) as well as 1989 (2014-2015) -- as she moved into a realm of pop where her talents were already well established. In the end, when she refocused her music with the stripped-down releases of 2020, folklore, and Evermore however, she remained at the top. The position was defended with the re-recordings she had made from her earlier catalog, as in Midnights, her synth-heavy chart-topping 2022 album.
