Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomena A superstar who managed to seamlessly transition from country to the mainstream and become a enduring popular icon, and sweeping the globe in the process. Swift shed her country roots as though they were part of her skin revealing that she was arguably the smartest pop-oriented singer/songwriter of her time, someone who was able to harness the current zeitgeist and make it personal and just as impressively perform the reverse. Her early songs, such as the neotribute for Tim McGraw were a testament of her ability. However, her second album Fearless of 2008 proved to be the songwriter finding her voice as well as a broader audience. Fearless was a huge success not just in America with six singles were declared platinum, on top of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and you Belong with Me. But it also performed well around the globe. Swift's Speak Now album released two years ago consolidated her previous successes, propelling Swift into the spotlight. With the three albums that followed -- Red 2012, 1989 2014 along with Reputation 2017. her success only grew. It was a clear indication that she was in the new music scene where she fit in. As she cut her style to the stripped-down versions of 2020, folklore, and Evermore, she still remained on top. The position was defended with the re-recordings she had made from her earlier catalog as along with Midnights the synth-based chart-topper 2022 album.
