Taylor

Taylor Swift was a rarity in pop: she is the only celebrity to have transitioned from the traditional to the mainstream and become an international icon of pop culture. Swift left her country roots as though they were part of her skin, revealing she was possibly the most savvy popular singer/songwriter in her generation one who could harness the current zeitgeist and make it personal and equally impressively do the reverse. Swift's early tracks including the neotribute for Tim McGraw were a testament of her ability. The second album Fearless from 2008 showed a songwriter finding her voice and a wider audience. Fearless was a huge success not only in the United States with six singles have been certified platinum in the wake of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and You Belong with Me. But it also performed well around all over the world. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that achievement and propelled Swift into the stratosphere of superstardom. The next three albums she released, Red (2012) 1989 (2004) and Reputation (2017) and Reputation, Swift's popularity grew and she became part of the world of pop music with a clear sense of where she deserved to be. As she cut her style by releasing stripped-down albums like 2020, folklore, and Evermore however, she remained on top. The position was defended by re-recordings from her past catalogue as along with Midnights which was her chart-topping synth heavy 2022 album.
