Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century Podcast: Taylor Swift (No. 2)
Taylor Swift is Billboard's No. 2 Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century -- listen to our podcast explaining why.
Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by renowned Swiftie (and GPS essay writer) Hannah Dailey and former Taylor Swift cover story author Jason Lipshutz to help remember her singular career and peerless artistry. Then, we retrace her journey from teenage country sensation to Grammy-winning crossover artist to globe-conquering superstar, while also mentioning the handful of bumps in the road she’s encountered along the way. We also explain why her sonic and promotional left turn in 2020 — and the Taylor’s Versions project she embarked upon shortly after — ended up being two of the most brilliant moves any artist has made this century, and primed her for a commercial run the past three years that we still struggle to wrap our brains around.
