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.
HBO Documentary Films Acquires Oscar-Nominated ‘How Do You Measure a Year?’, Unique Father-Daughter Collaboration From Director Jay Rosenblatt
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: HBO Documentary Films has acquired worldwide and television streaming rights to the Oscar-nominated short How Do You Measure a Year?, a film director Jay Rosenblatt shot over the course of 17 years with his daughter Ella.
Every year on Ella’s birthday, from the ages of 2 to 18, he recorded as he asked his daughter the same set of questions, such as how she would describe herself and how she defines the word “power.” Her answers – funny, poignant, wise, surprising — form the basis of the 29-minute film.
At age 9, for instance, Ella describes herself as “fun, funny, jokeful, loving, peaceful — sometimes.” Two years later, as she turns 11, she offers this definition of power: “Power is being yourself.
That takes a lot of power.” HBO Documentary Films says it will premiere How Do You Measure a Year? on HBO in June 2023, coinciding with Father’s Day.
