Music over the years has evolved through the good and bad. It has made people change their tastes and try different varieties of music. The Hollywood industry is growing and has a lot of competition whether it be within actors or singers.
Becoming the longest-running solo singer in 2006 with the song “Ring the Alarm”, Beyoncé (Beyoncé Giselle Knowles) has won hearts and brought huge respect to the R&B Group. Since then she has set up a high rank for competitive singers, firing the competition.
Bringing back to back hit songs over the years she has proved herself and has done herself proud, from – “Halo (2008), Single Ladies (2008), Love On Top (2011), Flawless (2013)”, along with a list of other great songs she has been the “Goddess”.
On the other hand, a 31-year-old, who started her musical journey at 14 as a teenager is considered one of the renowned singer/songwriters, Taylor Swift (Taylor Alison Swift). She is known for her songs which come out of her own experiences which in itself is unique. From her first song “Tim McGraw (2006)” to songs such as “White Horse (2008), All You Had To Do Was Stay (2014), Tolerate it (2020)” followed by other beautiful songs have made the way for her success.
