Taylor Swift is inarguably one of the luckiest and most sought after artists in 2015. The 26-year-old American singer-songwriter has given justice to what it means to be a superstar.
Swift completed her musical evolution from country to pop and had the most pervasive collection of this era, touring around the globe and playing sold out shows from Tampa Bay to Shanghai. She turned out to be such a force to the point that different personalities and artists utilized her stage to promote their own professions through guest appearances.
Swift's overwhelming influence extended to her fellow music artists. According to Quartz, Ryan Adams, an Indie-rock darling, covered Swift's whole "1980" album, rejuvenating his career in the process once his cover was launched.
The songstress also released a star-studded music video titled "Bad Blood," a five-minute action movie. The video hit 681 million views on YouTube and sent a reverberating message about the force and quality of Swift's inner circle of female companions: diverse, multi-talented and untied.
She exhibited forgiveness by publicly reconciling with Kanye West who disrespected her while she was receiving an award on live television years earlier, an incident that left her in tears. She also showed contrition by apologizing earnestly to Nicki Minaj for a misunderstanding on Twitter, publicly.
The country and pop superstar also showed her fans some acts of compassion on various occasions. She shared about her mother's cancer diagnosis and expressed sympathy to those who are going through a similar struggle to strengthen their courage.
Because of her open letter to Apple, the largest company in the world, she somehow shifted the music industry landscape in support of indie artists having a hard stance against free music streaming. This prompted an immediate change in policy from Apple, making the tech giant pay royalties to artists during the three month free trial period.
Aside from Swift, Adele and Coldplay had a similar stance after releasing their albums this year. Adele has sold more albums in the first week after its launch than any artist in recorded history. Her use of social media platforms was well recorded and her collection of work all in all in online networking in 2015 was more than simply fan selfies. She has entirely reclassified artist-fan relationship, enabling her armies of fans to talk with her voice.
She occasionally gave presents to fathering fans, appeared at a bridal shower and welcomed fans insider her residence for a listening party. She has reset the standard for people's desires around access to the artists they adore. There are three years that could go against Swift's success in 2015, Elvis Presley's 1956, the Beatles 1964, and Michael Jackson's 1983, base in historical context.
