Taylor Swift a Master of Songwriting

The "Anti-Hero" singer has always been dubbed by her fans as the music industry itself. They joke about how the singer's bad posture is because of the weight of carrying the industry on her shoulders.

However, there is no denying that Swift is a master of songwriting, and she knows exactly what people want out of her music releases.

Swift is known to explore different genres throughout her career; she started off with country before eventually moving on to pop, alternative, indie, and even releasing some jazz and rock-inspired songs.

Her wide array of genres and songs provides listeners with more options of albums and songs to listen to, depending on their mood.

On the other hand, the other artists included in the list have enjoyed much success with her music releases, especially SZA whose newly released album "SOS" stayed atop music charts.

Students with high GPAs also like hip-hop and rap music, which is why a good number of artists included in the list are rappers like Post Malone, Drake, 21 Savage, J. Cole, Mac Miller, and Lil Uzi Vert.
