Taylor Swift might be a global pop sensation. However, that is not all she is. While the artist might be known for her catchy tracks and record-breaking world tour, she recently dived into another part of Hollywood. Although the 34-year-old is no doubt used to the glitz, glamor, and flashing camera lights, it was her already astounding career that ended up getting elevated.

While she may have reached new heights in the last year, who could ever forget that it was her songwriting that once brought her attention?

How Taylor Swift’s musical career transformed over time

There is no doubt that Taylor Swift can pen an extremely emotional yet elegantly put verse. After all, she has done it multiple times with her songs and albums. However, while the world is no stranger to her musical gifts, the singer ended up taking her career to a whole new level in 2023. From her ‘The Eras Tour’ to her concert film that briefly dominated the box office, she proved that her career has come a long way.

Taylor Swift’s journey to becoming a global pop sensation

Back in 2006, Taylor Swift made her way into the music scene with her song, ‘Tim McGraw.’ While it was her first track to reach the Top 40, it did not end up rocketing her to stardom quite like ‘Love Story’ did when it came out just 2 years later. For the singer, the tiny yet pivotal steps into the music industry with mostly country songs, were the beginning of her astounding career. However, her success at the time was short-lived as the infamous Kanye West VMA moment took over the world.

Thankfully, the singer/songwriter did not let the controversial rapper bring her down. In fact, after a couple more run-ins with him, she ended up releasing a banger of an album, titled ‘Reputation.’ While she did not straight-up address what had gone down with them, there were many subtle references to their issues. The album proved that the now 34-year-old had what it took to stand up for herself. More importantly, it also served as evidence that the country is not the only genre of music that Swift can rock.

Owing to its pop tunes, the album took Taylor Swift to new heights, with almost every other track reaching #1 on the charts. However, ‘Reputation’ was not the only trans-genre takeover that the songstress would do.

Taylor Swift’s dive into the world of cinema

Taylor Swift might always be seen as the girl who writes love songs about her exes. However, she has proved time and time again that she is so much more. While some of her biggest hits got re-released last year when she put out her version of her old studio album, ‘Speak Now,’ she ended the year on a high from her recorded version of her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.

Most of the previous year was filled with record-breaking updates about her world tour. However, the best news came for the ‘Champagne Problems’ singer in the form of a Golden Globe nomination. Although she had been nominated 4 times before in the category for Best Original Song, this time she found herself in another new category, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.

While she may have begun her journey as a Nashville-raised country star, Swift has since broken free of the stereotype and has paved her way and looks like she will only climb higher.

Taylor Swift’s potential success for 2024

2023 was an epic year for Taylor Swift. However, there is quite a high chance that 2024 could be even better. So far, she has already been nominated for a Golden Globe, been named the most streamed Spotify artist on New Year’s, and even broke another record with her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album. With the beginning of the year already bringing her such good fortune, fans are hoping that it will last throughout the year.

There is no doubt that ‘The Eras Tour’ will end up breaking even more records this year. The icing on the cake would be if the star would just re-release another one of her much-awaited albums. However, right now she seems to be busy gearing up for her shot at winning a Golden Globe in just a few days.
