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.

Critics have called their albums “perfect.” Their signature touring uniform is leather pants topped off with bralettes, because why not?The sisters coordinate and collaborate in all things, but they’re adamant that they are not the Brady Bunch. (They bicker!
They’re human!) Still, protecting and supporting each other are values that have been ingrained in them since birth. Before Radio City Music Hall, before working with Stevie Nicks and Taylor Swift, it was Mordechai and Donna Haim who fostered their love of music—and taught them to band together in the literal sense.
