The road to becoming a billionaire singer of "snake queen" Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is famous in Vietnamese pop culture as the "snake queen". She started her singing career when she was a little girl. Through her constant efforts, the beauty born in 1989 is now one of the most famous and successful snake artists in the world .

When her career was on the rise, Taylor Swift was involved in a series of controversies with Calvin Harris and the Kim-Kanye family. This was followed by a widespread boycott around the world with the message TaylorSwiftIsOverParty exploding on Twitter (currently X). At that time, the audience competed to create images of Taylor Swift, using the snake symbol to comment, as if to imply that the female singer was as vicious as a snake.

However, Taylor did not accept being crushed, she "turned pain into action", transferring all her emotions and feelings into magic and music. This wonderful therapy process helped Taylor regain balance, creating colorful compositions.

The success of the album Reputation and the strong statements through each song helped Taylor erase the name "venomous snake" and step up to the position of powerful "snake queen" of the world music industry.
