The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold over one million copies in its first week, a feat that was particularly impressive given the declining sales of physical albums at the time.

Swift's fourth album, "Red," was released in 2012 and marked a significant departure from her earlier work. The album incorporated elements of pop, rock, and electronic music, signaling her transition from a country artist to a mainstream pop star. "Red" was a commercial and critical success, earning several award nominations and spawning hit singles like "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble."

In 2014, Swift took a bold step by removing her entire catalog from Spotify, citing unfair compensation for artists. That same year, she released her fifth studio album, "1989," which was a full-fledged pop album. The album was a commercial juggernaut, selling over 10 million copies worldwide and earning Swift her second Album of the Year Grammy. The album's lead single, "Shake It Off," became an anthem of sorts, celebrating individuality and self-expression.

Swift's sixth album, "Reputation," was released in 2017 and was seen as a departure from her previous work. The album featured darker, more mature themes and was influenced by R&B and hip-hop.
