Taylor

Taylor Swift may be the most unique of pop artists: one who was able to successfully cross the divide between pop and country, conquering the globe. Swift shed the country influences like they were an extra layer of skin, revealing she was one of the finest singers/songwriters from her time. Swift could make the event personal and use it to her advantage. Swift's first hits, particularly her neo song in tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off the talents of her. The album from 2008 Fearless showed a singer-songwriter who was discovering herself and finding a large audience. Fearless became a worldwide hit, not only in North America (where it received six times platinum for the Top Ten Hits Love Story as well as "You Belong with Me") as well as in Canada Australia as well as the U.K. and other countries. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that achievement and propelled Swift to the heights of fame. Swift's popularity continued to grow over her next three albums - Red (2012) 1989 (2014) as well as Reputation (2017) Reputation (2017) and found her moving assuredly into a realm of pop music where she already belonged. Her popularity grew even after she changed her strategy in 2020's more streamlined siblings folklore (and Evermore) and stayed at the top of the charts.
