From catchy-country to prominent-pop songs, Taylor Swift's tunes have at one point or another engrained themselves in almost everyone's heads. Her previous transition from country queen to pop princess gave her a much bigger audience. The cross-over radio hits she's known for gained her listeners in both the country and pop genres.
