Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop phenomenon is a star who was able to transcend over from country music to mainstream pop culture and become an idol of the pop culture. Swift also took on every continent during the course of her journey. Swift shed her roots in country music as if she was a second skin and showed she had the finest pop sensibility of the time. Swift was the only artist/singer who could take the popular zeitgeist when she went on tour. The skills she displayed were apparent on her earliest hits especially the Neo-Tribute Tim McGraw but her second album 2008's Fearless showcased a songwriter discovering who she was and, in doing so, gaining a mass audience. Fearless ended up being hugely popular not only in the United States which is where its Top Ten singles Love Story, and You Belong with Me helped it to achieve six platinum records but also around the world. The album was particularly successful in Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. The Swift's Speak Now album released two years ago was a continuation of her earlier popularity and launched the singer into superstardom. Swift's popularity grew throughout her three subsequent albums - Red (2012), 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017). Swift became a household name within a genre where she belonged. The popularity of her music grew after she altered her plan in 2020's more streamlined siblings the folk singer (and Evermore) and stayed atop of the pop world.
