Taylor

Taylor Swift was a rarity in pop culture: she was the only superstar to have transitioned from the traditional to the mainstream and become a global pop culture icon. Swift has shed her country roots as if it were a second-skin, revealing herself to be the smartest pop singer/songwriter in her generation. She has the ability to take the zeitgeist of today and create her personal. Swift's early hits, especially the neo celebration of Tim McGraw, showed off her skills. However, her album Fearless revealed a songwriter who was discovering herself and gaining a huge following. The album was hugely successful not only in the United States with six singles were certified platinum in the wake of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and You Belong with Me. But the album also enjoyed a great reception across all over the world. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that success and moved Swift towards the top of fame. She grew in popularity through her subsequent three albums: Red (2012) 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017). Swift became a household name within a genre where she belonged. Although she slowed down her approach with 2020's stripped-down siblings' folklore and Evermore she remained atop the charts, a place she kept with the re-recordings of her back catalog along with Midnights the top charting synth heavy 2022 set.
