Taylor Swift
Taylor Alison Swift (born 13 December 1989) is an American musician and singer. Her discography spans multiple genres. Her songwriting - often inspired by her personal life--has been praised by critics and received extensive media coverage. Swift was raised in West Reading, Pennsylvania. She relocated to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 14 to become a singer-songwriter. Swift signed a songwriting contract with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, in 2004 and also signed a recording contract at Big Machine Records, in 2005. Her 2006 self-titled debut album made her the first female country artist to record an U.S. platinum-certified album. Swift's next albums Fearless (2008) & Speak Now (2010) explored the genre of country music. "Love Story" (the first song from the country genre to be ranked at the top spot on the U.S. pop airplay charts) and "You Belong with Me" the latter track, were Swift's next albums, Fearless (2008) and Speak Now (2010). Red (2012) included the debut Billboard Hot 100 song number one, "We Are Never Ever Going back Together". The singer discarded her image as a country singer and dropped 1989 (2014), an album of synth-pop that featured the chart-topping tracks "Shake It off", "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood". Reputation (2017), with its number-one song "Look What You Did to Me" Me Do", was a product of media scrutiny.
Swift who had left Big Machine, signed with Republic Records for her seventh studio album Lover (2019) which followed it up with the autobiographical documentary Miss Americana 2020. Swift's 2020 albums Folklore (2019) and Evermore (2020) were her first ventures into alternative rock and indie music. "Cardigan" was a top-ten hit, while "Willow" was a Top 100 hit. Swift began recording her first six albums after a dispute over their masters, re-releasing two in 2021: Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version). "All Too Well (10 Min Version)" from the latter album was the longest track to hit the Hot 100. The album she released in 2022, Midnights along with its single "Anti-Hero" have set new all-time streaming music records. Swift has also produced music videos and films such as All Too Well, The Short Film (2021) and has also performed supporting roles. Swift is one among the greatest-selling musicians ever.
