Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop phenomenon is a star who was able to transcend from the country genre to mainstream pop culture and become an iconic figure in the pop world. Swift also took on every continent through her music. Swift is shedding her country roots as if she was shedding skins for second purposes, showing herself to be the smartest pop singer/songwriter in her generation. She has the ability to tap into the current trend and turn it into her unique. Swift's first hits, particularly their neo tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off the talents of her. The album from 2008 Fearless revealed a songwriter who was discovering herself and was able to draw a wide audience. The album was able to have significant reach not just in the U.S. where it racked the record with six platinum singles, due to the Top Ten hits Love Story and the hit single You Belong with Me but throughout the globe, performing especially well with Canada, the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift reached the heights of the charts with Speak Now. The three subsequent albums -- Red 2012 1989, Red 2012 and Reputation 2017, her success only grew. This was a sure indicator that Swift had entered a new pop world where she fit in. Even when she scaled back her strategy with 2020's stripped down sister album folklore, and Evermore she continued to be atop of the charts, a place she kept with the re-recordings of her older catalogs as well as Midnights her chart-topping synth-heavy 2022 album.
