Taylor

Taylor Swift was a rarity in pop culture: she was the only superstar to have crossed from country into the mainstream and become a global pop culture icon. Swift dropped country as if it was another layer of herself, proving that she's perhaps the best pop-singer/songwriter in her generation. A person who has the ability to tap into the zeitgeist to make it personal, and perform in the opposite. The skills she displayed were apparent on her first hits, particularly the Neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album, 2008's Fearless featured a singer-songwriter figuring out who she was and, in doing so, gaining the mass market. Fearless ended up being a big hit not only in the United States with the Top Ten singles Love Story, and You Belong with Me helped it to break six platinum records as well as around the globe. It performed particularly well in Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. The Swift's Speak Now album released two years ago consolidated her previous popularity and launched her into superstardom. In the following three years, her popularity was growing with the release of three albums -the albums - Red (2012), Reputation (2014) in addition to 1989 (2014-2015) during which time she moved into a arena of pop with her skills already well established. Even though she had slowed her production with folklore, and Evermore releases in 2020 she was leading the way in pop music.
