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.
Dolby Reveals Plan to Expand Reach in Premium Theaters
variety.comCarolyn Giardina Dolby is heading to CinemaCon with a new offing for theater owners, with an eye toward growing the number of premium theaters that offer its Dolby Vision laser projection systems.
Dolby Cinema-branded auditoriums offer Dolby Vision coupled with Dolby Atmos sound in a customized upscale environment with comfortable seating and ambient light.
Now, Dolby is launching an additional plan through which theater owners can have access to the Dolby Vision projectors a la carte for premium auditoriums that already offer Atmos.
Dolby Cinema was introduced as a premium brand in 2014, and today there are 275 Dolby Cinemas worldwide. In the U.S., these are currently offered through partner AMC as “Dolby Cinema at AMC” branded sites. “We’re thrilled to provide exhibitors this new offering, which will unlock significantly greater opportunities for moviegoers around the world,” said Jed Harmsen, head of cinema and group entertainment at Dolby. “We want to get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to as many exhibitors as possible.” At next week’s CinemaCon theater owners convention, the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas — the venue used for studio presentations at the confab — will once again be equipped with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
