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.
Commercial Shoots No Longer to Require COVID Vaccination as Mandate Expires
thewrap.comSince 2021, SAG-AFTRA has given commercial producers the right to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for actors. But starting May 11, an actor’s vax history, which is typically listed on a person’s COVID-19 immunization card, will no longer be required from talent in order for them to get a gig.
However, commercial producers with active projects that have previously implemented a vaccination requirement in “Zone A” — anyone who has to work in close relation to talent — can move forward with the mandate until the production ends. “The protocols will expire on May 11, 2023, concurrent with the date the federal government has identified for the expiration of the Coronavirus public health emergency,” the association wrote in a notice.
The decision was a joint agreement between the Joint Policy Committee and SAG-AFTRA. “Projects in production as of May 11, 2023, which had already established a mandatory vaccination policy in Zone A, may continue that policy for the duration of the production.”The notice continued: “Beginning on May 12, 2023 through July 31, 2023, performers working in scenes that require close or intimate contact or extreme exertion, may request COVID antigen self-administered testing for themselves and other performers with whom they will be working in those scenes.”SAG-AFTRA also agreed to terminate its COVID-19 Production Safety and Testing protocol for projects under its corporate/educational and non-broadcast contracts.
