Taylor

Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop stars one who was able to fully transition from country to the mainstream making her an iconic popular icon, and sweeping all over the world at the same time. Swift dropped country as if it was another layer of herself, proving that she's possibly the smartest pop-singer/songwriter her generation. One who can harness the current zeitgeist and make it personal as well as be able to perform at the opposite. The evidence was clear from her first songs, especially on the neo pay homage of Tim McGraw. On her album Fearless (2008), Swift showcased a writer getting to get acquainted with herself. The album was hugely successful not just in America, where six of its singles have been certified platinum on the back of Top Ten hit songs Love Story and Belong with Me. But the album also enjoyed a great reception across all over the world. Speak Now delivered almost two years later, which consolidated the achievement and propelled Swift to the heights of fame. With the three albums following the three albums that followed -- Red 2012 1989, Red 2012 along with Reputation 2017 -- Swift's success only grew. That was an obvious indicator that Swift had entered a new pop world where she fit in. She was in the forefront of pop even when she dropped her style with her sibling albums folklore & Evermore in the year 2020.
