Oh come on, she's smart enough to know that country music will always be local. She's not doing this because she suddenly loves pop.
I'm not saying thats not a factor but she's slowly been transcending to pop with each album. It's not like she instantly went from Tim McGraw to Shake It Off. She's always been a huge lover of pop. Even in her really country days she was covering Rihanna.
I don't think Taylor switched to pop to be more global. "Global" is mostly an ATRL thing. I think she got scared when the Speak Now singles failed to make any real impact on radio and the Hot 100.

its a shame
Mine and Back To December are two of her best singles
Speak Now didn't have any real singles.
They were all completely self-written she needed a cowrite for a real pop hit she's so dumb for thinking she could do it all alone
Shake It Off will be her biggest single ever WW
Sure, Miley Cyrus is one of the great media stars of the decade. But when it comes to her status as a hitmaker, she is an upstart compared to icons like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Usher or the legions of greats that came before them.
And if you have a chokehold on the US like her, you have a chokehold on a huge section of the industry and a LOT of the industry's money. I doubt she's bothered, or even knows, she's "local".
