Taylor

Taylor Swift, the rarest pop sensation, is one who was able to transcend between the genres of country and mainstream pop culture and become an icon of the pop world. Taylor Swift has also ruled all over the world in the process. Swift shed her country roots as though they were part of her skin, showing that she was perhaps the savviest populist singer/songwriter of her generation one who could harness the zeitgeist make it personal and equally impressively do in the opposite direction. This was evident in her first hits, particularly the Neo-tribute Tim McGraw but her second album 2008's Fearless was a showcase of a songwriter discovering who she was and in the process finding a mass audience. Fearless became a massive success and 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 did well across all over the world. Swift could build on her achievements with Speak Now almost two year following. It was only after that her popularity grew exponentially over the following three albumsReputation (2017), Red (2012) and 1989 (2014) Red (2012) 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017) and Reputation in 2017 and found her moving assuredly to a realm of pop music where she belonged. In the years after she pared her repertoire down with her stripped-down albums of 2020, folklore and Evermore however, she was still the king of the world of pop. It was a position that was maintained by the release of remastered versions of songs from her prior catalog as well as Midnights the top selling synth heavy album scheduled for 2022.
