Taylor

Taylor Swift may be the most unique of pop artists: one who could effortlessly bridge the gap between pop and country, conquering the globe. Swift has thrown off her country roots like it were a second-skin and has proven herself to be one of one of the best pop singers and songwriters of her time. Swift is able to take the zeitgeist of today and make it her own. Swift's early tracks including the neotribute in tribute to Tim McGraw were a testament to her talent. The second album Fearless in 2008 showcased a songwriter finding her voice and a wider fan base. Fearless became hugely popular not only in the United States which is where its Top Ten singles Love Story as well as You Belong with Me helped it to break six platinum records as well as around the globe. It was a huge success throughout Canada Australia in Australia and Canada. U.K. Swift could build on her success with Speak Now almost two year after. Over the next three years, her fame was growing with the release of three albums -- Red (2012), Reputation (2014), and 1989 (2014-2015) during which time she entered a new world of pop music in which her talent was already well established. As she cut her style by releasing stripped-down albums like 2020, folklore and Evermore however, she remained in the top spot. The position was defended with the re-recordings she had made from her earlier catalog as in Midnights which was her chart-topping synth heavy 2022 album.
