Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomenons one who was able to seamlessly transition from the traditional to and become a enduring celebrity and then conquering the world in the process. Swift removed her roots in the country as though they were part of her skin revealing that she was perhaps the savviest populist singer/songwriter of her generation one that could tap into the current zeitgeist and make it personal and equally impressively do opposite. The skills she displayed could be seen in her earliest tracks, notably the neodue Tim McGraw. But on her sophomore album Fearless that came out in 2008, she could identify the person she was and reach audiences across the globe. The album was able to have significant reach not just in the U.S. where it racked the record with six platinum singles, thanks to Top Ten hits Love Story and Belong with Me Belong with Me but throughout the globe, performing especially well within Australia, U.K. Canada and Australia. Speak Now delivered almost two years later, which consolidated the popularity and pushed Swift towards the top of stardom. The three subsequent albums (Reputation 2017, 1989 2014, and Red 2012) Red 2012 1989, Red 2012 and Reputation 2017 -- Swift's fame only grew. That was an obvious sign she had moved to the new music scene which she was able to fit into. She stayed on top of the charts until she reverted to her style with her sibling albums folklore & Evermore in the year 2020.
