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.
Golden Globes Snubs and Surprises: A Bad Night for ‘Barbie’ and Taylor Swift
variety.comGolden Globes, broadcast on CBS for the first time, the news of the night was that, save for one or two genuine shocks, everything unfolded pretty much as had been widely predicted.
First-time host Jo Koy presided over the telecast, which took place, as always, at the Beverly Hilton. During his largely jokeless monologue, he did a bit about how Barry Keoghan’s penis in “Saltburn” somehow ended up as Bradley Cooper’s nose in “Maestro,” and made an Ozempic joke that involved “The Color Purple.” So one could say that the biggest snub of the night was the one Koy created for his own career.
There were, however, some key categories that held surprises — especially in that Globes voters seemed so allergic to “Barbie” that we could almost hear them say, “Bye, Barbie!” The Musical/Comedy category at the Globes is so often subject to category fraud — recent winners here include gut-busters “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “The Martian” — that this year it was a relief to know that “Barbie,” a genuinely funny movie primarily designed to make people laugh, was a total shoo-in to win.
And then it didn’t win! Instead, “Poor Things”landedthe biggest upset of the night on a show with very few of them. The film follows Bella Baxter (Emma Stone, who won female actor in a Musical/Comedy earlier in the night), a woman whose brain has been transplanted with an infant’s, as she develops her own peculiar outlook on herself, her sexuality, and the world.
