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.
Venice Film Festival Unveils New Section
hollywoodreporter.comThe 2021 Venice Film Festival will premiere a new festival sidebar, the Orizzonti Extra, a selection of experimental works that will replace the current Sconfini section.
The new sidebar, as its title suggests, will be complementary to Venice's Orizzonti competition selection but will focus on "new trends in world cinema" and be geared towards new and up-and-coming directors.
Films for the Orizzonti Extra sidebar must be at least 60 minutes long but there are otherwise no restrictions in terms of length, style or genre, the festival said.
The jury will judge the selection and award a prize for best film. Venice on Monday opened official registration for its 2021 event, which will run September 1-11.
