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.
‘Pretty Problems’ SXSW Review: A Comic Tale Of Wealth, Privilege, Relationships, Sex & Wine
deadline.comA couple have a wild weekend away in Pretty Problems, Kestrin Pantera’s laugh-out-loud comedy premiering at SXSW.Written by Michael Tennant, who also co-stars, it’s a witty look at wealth, privilege and relationships over a couple of days of hedonism in wine country.Lindsay (Britt Rentschler) is as bored with her marriage to Jack (Tennant) as she is working in a boutique — until Cat Flax (JJ Nolan) swoops into the store, showering her with flattery and conspicuous displays of wealth.
The pair bond over a bottle of wine, and Lindsay arrives home flushed with excitement about her rich new friend.

While Lindsay sees an opportunity to live a different life, Jack is suspicious and uncomfortably out of place, especially as he’s now a door-to-door salesman, having lost his job as a lawyer.
Their relationship is tested as they go from dinners to wine tastings to murder-mystery parties, where it turns out Lindsay has a connection to a member of staff.There’s a suggestion of a conspiracy, something Jack addresses head-on when he half-jokingly wonders if the weekend will be a “Purge” thing, or a sex thing.
