Taylor Swift
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. She is known
for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage.
Born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 14
to pursue a career in country music. She signed with label Big Machine Records and became the
youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. Her 2006 eponymous debut
album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the U.S., where it peaked at number five.
The album's third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and
perform a number-one song on the Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless,
was released in 2008. Buoyed by the success of pop crossover singles "Love Story" and "You
Belong with Me", Fearless became the best-selling album of 2009 in the U.S. The album won
four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Swift was the sole writer of her 2010 album Speak Now. It debuted at number one in the U.S.,
and the single "Mean" won two Grammy Awards. Her fourth album, Red (2012), yielded the
singles "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble". For her
fifth album, the pop-focused 1989 (2014), she received three Grammys and became the first
woman and fifth act overall to win Album of the Year twice. Its singles "Shake It Off", "Blank
Space", and "Bad Blood" reached number one in the U.S., Australia, and Canada. The first two
made Swift the first woman in the Billboard Hot 100's history to succeed herself at the top spot.
Her sixth album, Reputation (2017), and its lead single, "Look What You Made Me Do", topped
the UK and U.S. charts; with the release of Reputation, Swift became the first act to have four
albums sell one million copies within one week in the U.S. Her seventh album, Lover (2019),
spawned two U.S. number-two singles, "Me!" and "You Need to Calm Down".
Having sold more than 50 million albums—including 32 million in the U.S.—and 150 million
singles, Swift is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. As a songwriter, she has received
awards from the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and was
included in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time in 2015. Her other accolades
include 10 Grammy Awards, one Emmy, 24 American Music Awards, 23 Billboard Music
Awards, six Guinness world records, and appearances in Time's 100 most influential people in
the world (2010, 2015, 2019). She also ranked first in the Forbes Celebrity 100 (2016 and 2019),
and was the youngest to be featured in the magazine's listing of the 100 most powerful women
(2015).
