Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomenons: one of the most famous stars who successfully completely cross over from into mainstream pop culture, becoming an iconic pop icon as well as conquering the world by the way. Swift removed herself from traditional music as if she was a new layer and reveals herself as the most sophisticated pop singer and songwriter of her generation. Swift was able to harness the current zeitgeist and transform it into her own. Songs from her early days like the Neotribute to Tim McGraw were a testament to her talents. Her second album Fearless of 2008 proved to be an songwriter discovering her voice, and also a larger audience. Fearless was able to have significant performances not just in U.S. where it racked the record with six platinum singles, on the strength of the Top Ten hits Love Story and I Belong with Me but throughout the globe, performing especially well across The U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift had the chance to further consolidate her success with Speak Now almost two year following. It was only after that her popularity grew exponentially over the next three albums - -- Red (2012) 1989 (2014) as well as Reputation (2017) and Reputation in 2017 which saw her moving confidently into the world of pop, where she already belonged. When she did scale back her style with the 2020's stripped-down twins release folklore and Evermore she was still atop the chart, which she maintained with re-recordings of her earlier catalog, as well as Midnights the top charting synth heavy 2022 set.
