Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop star, is one who was able to transcend between the genres of country and mainstream pop culture and become an idol of the pop world. Swift also took on all over the world in the process. Swift left country music like it was a second layer of herself, proving that she's possibly the smartest pop-singer/songwriter her generation. A person who has the ability to tap into the mood of times to make her music personal and also sing in the other direction. The skills she displayed could be seen in her earliest tracks, notably the neodue Tim McGraw. But on the second album Fearless which came out in 2008, Swift was able to discover her true identity and gain a wide audience. Fearless was a huge success not just in America, where six of its singles were certified platinum in the wake of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and Belong with Me. But it also smashed records across all over the world. Swift took off to the peak of the charts with Speak Now. The next three years, her popularity grew through the years -the albums - Red (2012), Reputation (2014) as well as 1989 (2014-2015) -- as Swift entered the realm of pop where her talents were already established. She was in the forefront of pop even when she dropped her signature style in her twin albums, folklore and Evermore in the year 2020.
