Swiftonomics in China
The story-driven songwriting style of Taylor Swift, catchy pop tunes, and relatable lyrics make her the most loved western music figure in China. The “Queen of Pop” has the most highest-selling English music albums in the country. This accomplishment can be attributed to her active presence on social media platforms and celebrity endorsements in China which allows her to directly connect with her local fans.
