Taylor Swift
Before she became the undisputed princess of pop, Taylor Swift was considered the rising star of country music. Already well-known at the time, the singer began her transition to a more mainstream sound with her 2012 album, 'Red', which included the unforgettable hits '22' and 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'.©BANG Showbiz - 3/11
Miley Cyrus
After spending her entire childhood surrounded by country music, Miley seemed destined to follow in the footsteps of her father Billy Ray Cyrus. However, thanks to the sitcom 'Hannah Montana', the singer was able to explore some very clean pop sounds under the tutelage of Disney, before transitioning to a much more mature version in the early 2010s. Refusing to be pigeonholed, the young star now essays a sound that is part pop, part rock'n'roll, and sometimes even a little disco.©BANG Showbiz - 4/11
Fergie
Before singing RnB songs with the Black Eyed Peas, Fergie was part of a sexy pop group called Wild Orchid. However, she joined the Black Eyed Peas in the early 2000s and she's subsequently achieved huge success, with the band and as a solo artist.©BANG Showbiz - 5/11
Pink
Pink was part of the RnB group Choice until 1995, when a record company believed in her solo potential and offered her a chance to become a pop star. Nearly three decades on, and it's safe to say they made a good call!©BANG Showbiz - 6/11
Jonas Brothers
The Jonas Brothers rose to fame with their catchy pop-rock songs and messy hair. Popularized by Disney products like 'Hannah Montana' and 'Camp Rock', the three brothers initially struggled to shed their innocent image and split up for several years before returning to the limelight in 2019 with a completely pop, and much more mature, style.©BANG Showbiz - 7/11
Avril Lavigne
The Canadian singer is best known for her very punk rock debut, which included her hits 'Complicated' and 'Sk8er Boi'. However, the star gradually adopted a much softer pop rock aesthetic with her albums 'The Best Damn Thing' and 'Goodbye Lullaby'. Avril is now fully dedicated to pop music.©BANG Showbiz - 8/11

Demi Lovato
Like the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato made her name with pop rock songs. After a media absence due to her addiction struggles, the star returned with the album called 'Unbroken' in 2011, which marked her entry into the world of hard pop. She's subsequently enjoyed huge success with her catchy pop hits.©BANG Showbiz - 11/11
Katy Perry
Prior to the release of 'One of The Boys', the album that put her on the map, Katy sang Christian songs under her birth name, Katy Hudson. Eventually, the star changed her stage name and turned to much more adult lyrics. Her first worldwide hit was the chart-topping 'I Kissed a Girl'.©BANG Showbiz
