Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomenons A superstar who managed to completely cross over from the traditional to and become a enduring pop culture icon and conquering the globe in the process. Swift shed her roots in country music like a second-skin, and revealed that she was the most refined pop sensibility of the time. Swift was the only musician/singer to follow the zeitgeist of popular music on the road. It was apparent in her early songs, particularly on the neo homage towards Tim McGraw. On her album Fearless (2008), Swift revealed a singer/songwriter who was beginning to understand herself. Fearless wound up having considerable legs not only on the U.S. where it racked up six platinum singles due to the Top Ten hits Love Story and the hit single You Belong with Me but throughout the world performing particularly well within the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift took off to the peak of stardom with Speak Now. Over the next three years, Swift's popularity increased -- Red (2012), Reputation (2014) in addition to 1989 (2014-2015) -- as Swift entered the realm of pop in which her talent was already well established. She was in the forefront of pop even when she dropped her signature style in her twin albums Folklore and Evermore in the year 2020.
