Taylor
Taylor Swift may be the most unique of pop stars. She was an artist who could successfully cross the divide between pop and country while sweeping the globe. Swift shed country like it was a second layer, showing that she's perhaps the smartest pop-singer/songwriter her generation. One who can harness the mood of times to make her music personal as well as sing in the other direction. Swift's first hits, particularly the neo tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off her talents. The album from 2008 Fearless showed a singer-songwriter who was discovering herself and finding a large audience. Fearless became a worldwide hit and not just in the United States (where it received with six platinum awards for Top Ten Hits Love Story as well as "You Belong with Me") but in Canada, Australia as well as the U.K. and other countries. Swift's new album, Speak Now, released almost two years after the debut, further consolidated this momentum. It helped propel Swift to superstardom. The popularity of Swift only grew over her next three albums -- Red (2012) 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017) and Reputation in 2017 and found her moving assuredly into the realm of pop that she had already been a part of. Her name was always in the forefront of pop even after she changed her own style on her sister albums Folklore and Evermore in 2020.
