There’s been a noticeable change in musical style and the complexity of her songwriting, but her impact on culture has been undeniable. USA Today has hired a reporter to cover the Taylor Swift beat exclusively, her tours have sold out stadiums across the globe. One expert even says, “If Taylor Swift were an economy, she’d be bigger than 50 countries.”
