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.

EGOT winner Whoopi Goldberg, who hosted the Academy Awards four times, also commented on how “brutal” hosting an awards show can be. “For the first time, stand-up comedian Jo Koy took on the hosting duties, and it was a rough room for him,” Goldberg, 68, said. “These gigs, these hosting gigs, are brutal.
They’re just brutal.”“If you don’t know the room, if you’ve not been in these rooms before and you’re thrust out there, it’s hit or miss,” the “Sister Act” star stated. “I don’t know whether it was the room or the jokes; I didn’t get to see it, but I do know that [Jo is] as good as it gets when it comes to stand-ups.”During his opening monologue, Koy — who was hired a mere 10 days before the ceremony — made several jokes that seemed to fall extremely flat with the star-studded audience. “The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL?
