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.

The collection also pays tribute to Bessette Kennedy’s ‘impeccable evening looks’, usually sourced from Yohji Yamamoto or Narcisco Rodriguez and worn to fundraising galas and society dinners in New York and Washington; the ‘Ines’ velvet LBD and a take on her signature tomato red lipstick would work just as well for a restaurant date or night out with friends now as they did for those high-profile events then.
Despite providing the building blocks for a CBK-esque wardrobe, Damas insists that the most important quality of any outfit is that you ‘see the woman before the clothes’.
And therein lies Bessette Kennedy’s enduring appeal. Although she rarely spoke in public or revealed much about her life, her confidently effortless and refined style hinted at something beyond those carefully chosen coats and starkly simple evening looks - but never revealed anything.
