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.
Fall Out Boy have reflected on the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘Take This To Your Grave’, describing it as “lightning strike accident of a record that absolutely changed my life”.The US pop-punk band — Pete Wentz, Andy Hurley, Patrick Stump and Joseph Trohman — released their studio debut on May 6, 2003, two years after they formed in the Chicago suburbs.“About 21 or so years ago, as I was applying to colleges I would ultimately never go to, Fall Out Boy began as a little pop punk side project of what we assumed was Pete’s more serious band Arma Angelus,” Stump posted to the band’s social media this week.“We were sloppy and we couldn’t solidify a lineup, but the three of us (Pete, Joe, and I) were having way too much fun to give up on it.”He explained that they were “really rough around the edges”, adding: “As an example of how rough, one of my favorite teachers pulled me aside after hearing the recording that would become “Evening Out With Your Girlfriend,” and tactfully said “What do you think your best instrument is Patrick?
Drums. It’s drums. Probably not singing Patrick.”“We went into Smart Studios with the Sean O’Keefe…. So there we were, 3/5 of a band with a singer who’d only been singing a year, no drummer, and one out of two guitarists.
But we had the opportunity to record with Sean and record at Butch Vig’s legendary studio.”He went on that eight or so months later, record label Fueled By Ramen gave them a contract to record the remaining songs. “We’d sleep on floors, eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly, live in a van for the next 3 years, and somehow in spite of that eventually play with Elton John and Taylor Swift and Jay-Z and for President Obama and for the NFC championship, and all these.
