Taylor Swift

Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Known for her autobiographical songwriting, artistic versatility, and cultural impact, Swift is one of the world's best-selling artists, the highest-grossing touring artist, the richest female musician, and the first billionaire with music as the main source of income.

Swift signed to Big Machine Records in 2005, debuting as a country singer with the albums ''Taylor Swift'' (2006) and ''Fearless'' (2008). The singles "Teardrops on My Guitar", "Love Story", and "You Belong with Me" found crossover success on country and pop radio formats. She incorporated rock on ''Speak Now'' (2010) and electronic on ''Red'' (2012), later re-calibrating her image from country to pop with the synth-pop set ''1989'' (2014); the ensuing media scrutiny inspired the hip-hop-imbued ''Reputation'' (2017). The albums contained the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number-one singles "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", "Bad Blood", and "Look What You Made Me Do".

Shifting to Republic Records in 2018, Swift released the electropop album ''Lover'' (2019) and explored indie folk styles in the 2020 albums ''Folklore'' and ''Evermore''. She experimented with subdued pop genres on ''Midnights'' (2022) and ''The Tortured Poets Department'' (2024), and began re-recording her Big Machine albums as ''Taylor's Version'' due to an ownership dispute with the label. In the U.S., a record seven of Swift's albums have sold one million copies first-week each, and she has garnered the number-one songs "Cardigan", "Willow", "All Too Well", "Anti-Hero", "Cruel Summer", "Is It Over Now?", and "Fortnight" through the 2020s. She has undertaken six concert tours, including the Eras Tour (2023–2024), the highest-grossing tour of all time. Her films include ''Miss Americana'' (2020), ''All Too Well: The Short Film'' (2021), and ''The Eras Tour'' (2023)—the highest-grossing concert film.

Swift has received extensive media coverage and has a global fanbase known as Swifties. She has been listed amongst history's greatest artists by publications such as ''Rolling Stone'' and ''Billboard'', as well as the only individual from the arts to have been named the ''Time'' Person of the Year (2023). Her accolades include 14 Grammy Awards (including a record four Album of the Year wins), a Primetime Emmy Award, and a record five IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year awards. Swift is the most-awarded artist of the American Music Awards (40), the ''Billboard'' Music Awards (49), and the MTV Video Music Awards (30). Provided by Wikipedia
