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.

He’s now teamed with Layla, who’s not afraid to speak her mind — as did Arnold’s Season 1 partner, DS Priya Shamsie (Sonita Henry).“I think she’s the visceral companion to Max Arnold’s cerebral approach,” Emme said of Layla. “She speaks her mind with practically zero filter and lacks patience for nonsense; she tends to roll her eyes at all the excess she witnesses … and definitely brings some judgment with her and keeps her private life very private.“She’s very much married to her work and everything else sort of just fits in around that,” she said.
