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.
Broadway Lights To Dim For Late Scenic Designer Robin Wagner
deadline.comBroadway will dim its lights on Saturday, June 17, to honor the memory of Robin Wagner, the triple Tony Award-winning scenic designer who died May 29 at age 89.
The traditional memorial marquee dimming will last for exactly one minute beginning at 7:45 p.m. ET. In a statement, Charlotte St.
Martin, President of The Broadway League, said, “Generations of theatergoers can fondly look back and think of certain productions and along with poignant storylines and exquisite performances, they can recall the beautiful grand sets and intricate details of the stage all thanks to the creative genius of Robin Wagner. “His keen eye for design and innovation,” she continued, “was responsible for some of Broadway’s most memorable sets — from On the Twentieth Century and City of Angels to The Producers — and we wish to pay tribute to his legacy on Broadway by dimming the lights in his honor.” Wagner won Tonys for those three productions, with 10 nominations in all.
Wagner worked on more than 60 Broadway shows in a career that spanned over five decades. The League’s Committee of Theatre Owners determines the honorees of the light dimming tributes.
