Very rarely does a performer come along who appeals to as many people as Taylor Swift. The curly-haired crooner captured American listeners when she burst on the scene as a precocious 16-year-old singing about high school heartache, but has since grown up to be one of the biggest stars in both country and mainstream popular music.
After being signed at the young age of 15, Swift’s impact on country music was almost immediately felt. She released her self-titled debut album in 2006 and it was a huge hit. Songs such as "Tim McGraw," "Our Song" and "Picture to Burn" all earned significant airplay on country radio and catapulted her into the level of up-and-coming young female singers such as Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood. Buoyed by her later popularity, the album went on to enjoy the longest run on the Billboard 200 charts of any album that decade.
Though by all accounts Swift’s debut album was a rousing success, it was nothing compared with what would come next. Her second album Fearless was released in 2008 and was in an instant smash. The record made her a household name and would go on to be a critical favorite, eventually earning Swift to Grammy awards for Album of the Year and Best Country Album. It’s no wonder, given the numerous popular singles that powered the record, including the chart topper "Love Story" as well as the pensive "White Horse" and "You Belong With Me."
Fresh off the success of Fearless, Swift embarked on an extensive U.S. tour, and although she was performing in city after city, she still found time to write songs for her third album, 2010’s Speak Now. Much like its predecessors, the album was immensely popular and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. It contained a slew of popular tracks including "Mine" and "Mean" which were climbing the charts midway through 2011.
With a sweet personality and a penchant for writing catchy tunes, it is hard to find someone that does not like Taylor Swift. Though she is just 21-years-old she has already established herself as one of the biggest names in country music, right up there with the likes of Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley.
