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.

Page Six’s Nicholas Hautman writes, “At times, Swift, 34, roasts Alwyn, 33, mercilessly. She says he failed to ‘measure up’ to ‘any measure of a man’ on the blistering ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,’…while the epically titled ‘My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys’ sees him childishly destroying the sand castle of which she’s queen.”Elsewhere on the album, the queen of crushed castles stans for Charlie Puth and guns for John Mayer while sparing Jake Gyllenhall (can’t you hear him exhaling the exhale to end all exhales?)In honor of Miss Americana’s latest opus, we’re taking a look at the astrology of torture.
Fun fact; the album itself is an Aries, having been born into the world just after midnight on April 19, 2K24 amid a mighty Mercury retrograde in the same cardinal fire sign when the exhumation and in this case immolation of exes is at its peak.
