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.
The 1975’s Matty Healy appears to address Taylor Swift: “I would just be lying if I made a record about my casual romantic liaisons”
nme.comThe 1975’s Matty Healy appears to have addressed Taylor Swift in a new interview, saying he would “be lying” if he were to “made a record about my casual romantic liaisons”.The connection between the two comes after they were widely speculated to have dated for a short period in 2023.
