TAYLOR'S MUSIC GENRE

Taylor Swift began is carrer as a contemporary country music artist. After realesing her second album, she began to sing more pop music but never losing her country style.  

• Country music: Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas. 

We can find Taylor Swift as a country music artist mostly because of the instruments that she uses in her songs; like acoustic and electric guitar, bajos, tambourines, and harmonicas that are some of the typical instruments of country music. Also, we can characterized her as a country music artist because of the lyrics and the melody that she uses in her songs. The lyrics in a country music song are often about love or relationships. And that is what exactly Taylor does in her songs, she puts her feelings and experiences with a catchy and simple melody that is typical of country music.

• Pop music: As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country;nonetheless, there are core elements which define pop. Such include generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.

We can find Taylor as a pop music artist since her third album came out; she began to write more to her young fanbase. With inspired lyrics, faster and catchy melody, and electrical effects. Although she sings more often pop, she never loses her contemporary country style, that's why her music is different and quite singular and popular.
