Taylor Swift

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.

The longtime fan talked of her special connection to The Boss and how she looked to him as a mentor of sorts over the years.“[He’s] someone whose catalog of music I use as a blueprint for my emotions, my life situations, celebrations and sorrow.” “I even tied a song to my mother’s passing,” she said.Others are equally upset and questioning just what Springsteen stands for at this point.“It’s just so out of character for what he was.
