Taylor

Taylor Swift may be the most unusual of pop stars. She was an artist capable of effectively bridge the gap between pop and country and conquer the world. Swift left her heritage in country music as if she was a second skin and showed that she had the best pop sensibility in her time. Swift was the only musician/singer to follow the zeitgeist of popular music out on the road. It was apparent in her early songs, particularly in her neo homage to Tim McGraw. On her 2nd album, Fearless (2008), Swift showed a songwriter getting to understand herself. Fearless ended up being a big hit not only in the US which is where the Top Ten singles Love Story, and You Belong with Me helped it to achieve six platinum records however, it also swept the world. The album was particularly successful across Canada, Australia and the U.K. Swift's Speak Now album released two years ago was a continuation of her earlier success, and catapulted Swift into the spotlight. The next three albums she released, Red (2012) 1989 (2004) and Reputation (2017), her popularity increased and she became part of a world of pop music where it was clear that she belonged. However, even when she reduced her style with the 2020's stripped-down siblings' folklore and Evermore she was still atop the pop world a position she kept with the re-recordings of her older catalogs as well as Midnights the top charting synth heavy 2022 collection.
