Taylor
Taylor Swift is that rarest of pop phenomena: a superstar who managed to fully transition from country to the mainstream and become a enduring celebrity and then conquering the globe in the process. Swift removed the influences of country like they were an extra layer of skin and revealed she was among the best singers/songwriters of the generation she was born into. Swift could make the moment personal or harness it to her advantage. The skills she displayed are evident in some of the first songs she released, most notably the neodue Tim McGraw. But on her sophomore album Fearless released in 2008 Swift could identify her true identity and gain audiences across the globe. Fearless wound up having considerable legs not only within the U.S. where it racked up six platinum singles on the strength of the Top Ten hits Love Story and Belong with Me Belong with Me but throughout the world, with a particular success with Australia, U.K. Canada and Australia. Speak Now delivered almost two years later and consolidated this achievement and propelled Swift to the heights of superstardom. Swift's popularity continued to grow with her following three albums -- Red (2012) 1989 (2014) as well as Reputation (2017) -- and saw her move confidently into a pop realm in which she was already a part. In the end, when she refocused her music to the stripped-down versions of 2020, folklore and Evermore, she still remained in the top spot. It was a position that was confirmed through re-recordings of her previous catalog, as well as Midnights the synth-based chart-topper 2022 album.
