Taylor Swift
Taylor
Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Raised
in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of
fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent
label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the
Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's eponymous debut album
in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her
third single, made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform
a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist
nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
Swift's
second album, Fearless, was released in 2008. Buoyed by the crossover success
of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me",
Fearless became the top-selling album of 2009 and was supported by an extensive
concert tour. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the
youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Swift's third album, 2010's Speak Now, sold
over one million copies in its first week of US release and was supported by
the thirteen-month Speak Now World Tour. The album's third single,
"Mean", won two Grammy Awards. Swift's fourth album, Red, was
released in 2012. Its opening US sales of 1.21 million were the highest
recorded in a decade, with Swift becoming the only female artist to have two
million-plus opening weeks. The lead single, "We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together", was Swift's first number one on the Billboard Hot 100
chart and became a worldwide hit. The Red Tour is scheduled to begin in March
2013.
Swift
is known for her hook-laden, narrative songs about her experiences as a
teenager and young adult. As a songwriter, she has been honored by the
Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Swift's
other achievements include six Grammy Awards, eleven American Music Awards,
seven Country Music Association Awards, six Academy of Country Music Awards and
thirteen BMI Awards. She has sold over 26 million albums and 70 million song
downloads worldwide. In addition to her music career, Swift has appeared as an
actress in the crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2009), the ensemble
comedy Valentine's Day (2010) and the animated film The Lorax (2012). Forbes estimates
that she is worth over $165 million. As a philanthropist, Swift supports arts
education, children's literacy, natural disaster relief, LGBT rights, and
charities for sick children.
