Taylor
Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomena: a superstar who managed to fully transition from country to the mainstream becoming an enduring popular icon, and sweeping all over the world at the same time. Swift let go of the influences from her country music in the sense that they had been added as an extra layer of skin and revealed she was one of the best singers/songwriters of her generation. Swift could make the moment personal or harness it for her benefit. Swift's early tracks like the Neotribute for Tim McGraw were a testament of her ability. But, her follow-up album Fearless in 2008 showcased the songwriter finding her voice, and also a larger audience. Fearless became a big hit not only in the United States where the Top Ten singles Love Story as well as You Belong with Me helped it to record six platinum albums but also around the world. The album was particularly successful throughout Canada Australia as well as the U.K. Speak Now delivered almost two years later consolidated that popularity and pushed Swift towards the top of superstardom. Swift's popularity grew over the course of the three albums that followed - Red (2012) 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017). Swift had now established herself in a genre where she belonged. In the end, when she refocused her music with the stripped-down releases of 2020, folklore and Evermore, she still remained in the top spot. The position was defended with the re-recordings she had made from her earlier catalogue as well as Midnights, her synth-heavy chart-topping 2022 album.
