Taylor Swift started her music career in country music, telling stories that everyone could relate to with her catchy songs. Her self-titled debut album, Taylor Swift, was released in 2006, when she was 16 years old. Soon, albums like Fearless and Speak Now made her a beloved figure in country music and won her many awards. But Swift didn’t stop there.

She bravely tried out pop music, creating worldwide hits such as Shake It Off and Bad Blood in albums like 1989 and Reputation. This change showed how talented she is at writing songs and how flexible she can be with her music style.

Besides changing her music style, Tay has become a powerful voice for her generation. She’s fought for artists to own their music, called out unfair practices in the industry, and used her fame to support important causes like mental health. Recently, her album, The Tortured Poets Department, hit a huge milestone on Spotify. It became the first album ever to reach one billion streams in just one week, breaking the record set by her previous album Midnights.
