Taylor Swift
Taylor Alison Swift, born December 13, 1989 is an American musician and singer. Swift's discography spans diverse genres, and her songwriting, often in the form of her personal life, has received wide public attention and praise from critics. Swift was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville at age 14 to pursue a career as a country artist. She signed a songwriting contract with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in 2004 and a recording contract with Big Machine Records in 2005. The self-titled debut album she released in 2006 made Swift the first female country artist to release an album which was U.S.-certified platinum. Swift's next albums, Fearless (2008) and Speak Now (2010), focused on the country genre of pop. The songs "Love Story" and "You Belong with me" from the former were the first songs to have top of the U.S. all-genre and pop charts. Red (2012) included the first Billboard Hot 100 song number one, "We Are Never Ever Going Back Together". The singer discarded her image as a country singer and dropped 1989 (2014) which was a synth-pop album that included the chart-topping songs "Shake It off", "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood". Reputation (2017) featuring the number one single "Look what you made me do" was inspired by media attention.

Swift's albums for 2020 Folklore (2019) and Evermore (2020) were her first ventures into indie and alternative rock.
