Taylor

Taylor Swift may be the most unusual of pop stars: an artist who could successfully cross the divide between country and pop, conquering the globe. Swift shed country like it was a second layer of herself, proving that she is perhaps the smartest pop-singer/songwriter her generation. One who can harness the mood of times to make her music personal, and be able to perform at the opposite. Swift's talents are evident in some of her first tracks, including the neodue Tim McGraw. But on her sophomore album Fearless which came out in 2008, Swift could identify the person she was and reach a wide audience. The album was able to have significant appeal not just within the U.S. where it racked the record with six platinum singles, on the strength of the Top Ten hits Love Story and You Belong with Me but throughout the world, with a particular success in Canada, the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift reached the heights of stardom after the release of Speak Now. With her subsequent three albums, Red (2012) 1989 (2004) and Reputation (2017), her popularity increased and she was able to enter the world of pop music where it was clear that she was a part of. Her name was always in the forefront of pop even after she changed her own style on her sister albums Folklore and Evermore in the year 2020.
