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.
Kim Kardashian has accused Taylor Swift of lying about the 2016 video chat she had with the reality TV star’s husband Kanye West.
Full footage of the call, surrounding the rapper’s plans to poke fun at Taylor on his track Famous, was leaked over the weekend, with the newly-released audio showing that Kanye fails to mention he was going to call Taylor a “b**ch” in the song.
Taylor responded in a statement on Monday night in which she claimed the footage “proved I was telling the truth the whole time about *that call* – you know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family, and fans through hell for four years”.
