Taylor
Taylor Swift was a rarity in the world of pop music: she was the only celebrity to have crossed from country into the mainstream and become a pop icon worldwide. Swift is shedding her roots in the country as if it were a second-skin, revealing herself to be the smartest pop singer/songwriter of her time. She is able to harness the current zeitgeist and turn it into her personal. The first songs she released, such as the neotribute in tribute to Tim McGraw were a testament to her talents. The second album Fearless from 2008 showed an songwriter discovering her voice and a wider audience. Fearless became a worldwide hit, not only in North America (where it received with six platinum awards for Top Ten Hits Love Story as well as "You Belong with Me") but in Canada, Australia and the U.K. as well as other nations. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that achievement and propelled Swift to the heights of stardom. Swift's popularity grew through the three albums that followed - Red (2012) 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017). Swift became a household name within a genre where she belonged. When she reduced her sound with the stripped-down releases of 2020, folklore and Evermore, she still remained on top. The position was defended by re-recordings from her past catalogue as in Midnights the synth-based chart-topper 2022 album.
