Swift left country music like it was another layer of herself, proving that she is perhaps the best pop-singer/songwriter in her generation. Someone who is able to harness the mood of times to make her music personal and also perform in the opposite. The skills she displayed were apparent on her early hits including the Neo-Tribute Tim McGraw but her second album, 2008's Fearless showcased a songwriter discovering who she was and in the process, finding an audience of mass. The album was able to have significant reach not just in the U.S. where it racked up six platinum singles on the strength of the Top Ten hits Love Story and You Belong with Me but throughout the world, with a particular success in the U.K. Canada and Australia. Swift's Speak Now album released two years ago consolidated her previous popularity and launched the singer into superstardom. Swift's popularity grew over the course of her three subsequent albums - Red (2012), 1989 (2014) and Reputation (2017). Swift became a household name within the genre she was a part of. Although she slowed down her work with folklore and Evermore albums in the year 2020, she was nevertheless at the forefront of pop music.
