Taylor
Taylor Swift has become a unique pop star: a superstar who crossed over completely from the world of country music to pop culture and became the pop icon of the future that will endure forever, and sweeping over every corner of the globe. Swift removed her roots in the country as though they were part of her skin revealing that she was possibly the most savvy popular singer/songwriter in her generation one that could tap into the current zeitgeist and make it personal and just as impressively perform opposite. This was evident in her earliest hits especially the neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album 2008's Fearless showcased a songwriter discovering the person she really was, and in the process finding a mass audience. Fearless ended up being an enormous success not just in America with its Top Ten singles Love Story as well as You Belong with Me helped it to break six platinum records but also around the world. The album was particularly successful across Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. Swift's next album, Speak Now, released nearly two years following the previous one, built on this success. The album propelled Swift to superstardom. Swift's popularity continued to grow through her subsequent three albums - Red (2012) 1989 (2014) as well as Reputation (2017) -- and found her moving assuredly into a realm of pop music where she already belonged. Although she slowed down her strategy with 2020's stripped down siblings' folklore and Evermore she was still atop the charts, a place that she maintained through re-recordings from her earlier catalog, as well as Midnights the top charting synth heavy 2022 set.
