I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever heard a Taylor Swift song in my life. But, let me take a guess.
Pop. I’m pretty sure she’s a pop singer. I get the impression her fans are mostly young girls, so that’s probably her core demographic.
“Modern Country”, a.k.a. “country-pop”. She just seems like the type who would do a pop song but add a bit of twang, a bit of acoustic guitar, and voila, she’s mastered “country”.
Hip-hop. I wouldn’t be surprised if she released some so-called “hip hop”. I really doubt she’s be the one rapping, but someone that famous can probably just do a collaboration with a rapper, and sing while they rap. Just adjust the beats a bit, throw in a turntable (or a turntable-type sample), and you’ve mastered hip-hop. Unless… hmm… maybe her fan base is so white that she’s afraid of offending them even with extremely mild hip-hop. In that case, category 3 could be “Rock”, i.e. pop but with a bit more of an edge.
Hmm, this is a harder one. There are so many other genres of music, which one would be “the only other remaining genre” according to a fan? Probably not something too foreign, so not K-Pop or Latin. Probably nothing too old because her fans are so young, so no Jazz, Blues or Classical. It probably comes down to “Rock” or “Dance”. I’m gonna go with Dance. It’s pretty easy to take a female vocalist and emphasize the rhythm, focus on electronic instruments, etc.
Far from actually mastering “all 4 genres of music”, my guess is that almost everything she plays is in 4/4, with maybe an occasional 3/4, and that it’s almost always in a major key. How did I do?

I don’t know much about genres, but I do know she started as a country artist and pivoted to pop later.
Wow, that’s 50% of all possible genres already!
