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.

[The web series] got over 15 million views and amazing engagement from fans who were vocal about wanting to see more.” “We’ll have a larger budget,” Prodanou says of the development project, which will present at the Cartoon Forum pitch session in Toulouse. “[That affords us the] opportunity to play around with the style of animation.
I can’t wait to tell bigger, and more in-depth stories that really delve into our characters’ relationships and adventures in 22-minute episodes.” The 2020 web series itself built on the world of “Star Stable Online,” a vastly popular equestrian multiplayer online game aimed at a younger female demographic.
