Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomena one who was able to seamlessly transition from the traditional to making her an iconic popular icon, and sweeping the globe in the process. Swift removed herself from the country genre like a second skin, and revealed that she was the most refined pop sensibility of the time. Swift was the only singer/songwriter who knew how to be a part of the trending zeitgeist and take it when she went on tour. Swift's early hits, especially her neo tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off her skills. However, her album Fearless showcased a writer who was beginning to discover herself, and gaining a huge following. Fearless was a huge success not just in America and six of the singles have been certified platinum on the back of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and Belong with Me. But it also smashed records across all over the world. Swift soared to the top of the charts after the release of Speak Now. Over the next three years, her fame increased -three times - Red (2012), Reputation (2014) as well as 1989 (2014-2015) -- as she moved into a arena of pop with her skills already established. While she reduced the production of her folklore album, and Evermore albums in the year 2020, she was still at the forefront of pop music.
