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.

variety.comChris Willman Music WriterEddie Vedder, who has made efforts to include a more proportionate of women on the bill at his Ohana Festival than is typical at rock festivals, is going the extra mile this year, putting female headliners at the top of the bill on two out of Ohana’s three nights.At the sixth annual gathering in southern California Sept.
30-Oct. 2, Stevie Nicks will headline the first night, and Pink will lead the pack on closing night. In-between, Vedder himself and Jack White will co-headline on Saturday night.Other marquee acts playing during the three oceanside days include St.
Vincent, Billy Strings, Brittany Howard, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, the Revivalists, Manchester Orchestra, Khruangbin and Broken Social Scene, the last of which will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2002 album “You Forgot It in People” by playing it in its entirety.
Pop superstar Pink may be the most surprising headliner on the bill, given that the festival has mostly skewed toward a strong rock ‘n’ roll focus, but as fans know, she brings a strong rock edge to her music that should ultimately prove a comfortable fit with the rest of the lineup, even if she has a different core audience.Also on the bill are Gang of Youths, Dermot Kennedy, Grouplove, Kolohe Kai, Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs, Inhaler, Joy Oladokun, Curtis Hardin, Kevin Morby, Bomba Estereo, Cautious Clay, Dope Lemon, Briston Maroney, Noga Erez, Madison Cunningham, Beach Goons, Devon Gilfillian, S.G.
