She has the ability to harness the current zeitgeist and create her unique. Swift's early hits, especially the neo song in tribute to Tim McGraw, showed off her skills. The album from 2008 Fearless revealed a songwriter who was discovering herself and gaining a huge following. Fearless became a big hit not only in the US with the Top Ten singles Love Story, and You Belong with Me helped it to break six platinum records however, it also swept the world.
