Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop stars A superstar who managed to completely cross over from the traditional to becoming an enduring celebrity and then conquering the globe in the process. Swift dropped country as if it was a second layer of herself, proving that she's perhaps the best pop-singer/songwriter in her generation. Someone who is able to harness the zeitgeist to make it personal as well as sing in the other direction. Her early songs like the Neotribute for Tim McGraw were a testament to her talent. But, her follow-up album Fearless of 2008 proved to be a songwriter finding her voice as well as a broader public. Fearless became a worldwide hit, not only in North America (where it earned as platinum six times for Top Ten Hits Love Story and "You Belong with Me") as well as in Canada Australia as well as the U.K. and other countries. Swift took off to the peak of her game after the release of Speak Now. The singer's popularity increased throughout her subsequent three albums: Red (2012), 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017). Swift had now established herself in an industry she felt was hers to be. Although she slowed down her strategy with 2020's stripped down sister album folklore, and Evermore she remained atop the charts, a place she maintained with re-recordings of her earlier catalog, as well as Midnights the top charting synth heavy 2022 album.
