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.

"When I started out on X Factor I had a very easy role to play on that show, and that was to be the one that everyone talks about and my job wasn't to sing." "I think if Joe Public read tomorrow, 'Rylan's bringing out a CD', people would go, 'Shut up', and it would be pre-judged." "I've been really lucky over the last 12 years.
I've been successful in my career and I've done really, really well. And this hand is telling me, 'Don't tell people it's you because they'll pre-judge'." He pondered whether he could "do it all again from scratch" and if he could "replicate what you've done for yourself again?".
