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.

But what if it is? Because “will she or won’t she?” has turned into the year’s most nationally absorbing puzzle that does not directly involve a swing state outcome — the question, that is, of whether not the biggest superstar in the pop stratosphere will endorse Kamala Harris.
In any other election in history, it would have been inconceivable to train so much attention on the suspense over whether one celebrity in particular will come out to support a candidate.
But, as has been said a million times, this is no ordinary election, and (as it’s been said 1.1 million) Swift has a devoted following that is hanging on her every word to an extent arguably unlike any other performer in history.
