Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.

He's already scored viral hits with “Sorry Bout That” and “Gët Busy,” which sports the ridiculously charming line “This song was already turnt, but here’s a bell.” The album sports Young Thug, Gunna, and Yung Kayo while sticking close to the formula.
The beats are aggressive and dreamy, like you're fighting Satan in a nightmare, while Yeat sprawls off in the background counting his blessings and scowling at what passes for yours.
