Taylor Swift’s rise to fame began in the heart of country music. With hits like “Tim McGraw” and “Teardrops on My Guitar,” she quickly became a sensation, captivating audiences with her relatable lyrics and heartfelt performances. For years, Swift was considered the poster child of country music, and her crossover appeal brought the genre into the mainstream.
