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.
Steve Carell recalls how he became a fan of “very sweet, very nice” Taylor Swift
nme.comTaylor Swift – see what the actor had to say below.On a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Carell recounted appearing on MTV’s TRL “early” in his career, where he met Swift for the first time: “[It was] early on in my career and hers, too.
I met her sort of in passing, and I thought, ‘Boy, she seems special.’ Even back then. Very sweet, very nice, just had a really nice first impression.”However, it was a couple of years later that Carell really cemented his status as a Swiftie: “I remember seeing some video of her — and it wasn’t like a big, viral thing, it was just something I found in the recesses of the internet — it was her in a hospital, playing an acoustic guitar for a patient there.”Carell went on to explain: “It was no big crew, it was, like, a really low-key, handheld thing she did on the sly.
I thought, ‘That’s so cool.’ Not publicized, leading with her heart. I thought, ‘OK, I’m a fan. I am going to root for that person.’”In May, Swift kicked off the European leg of her ‘Eras’ tour.
She’s next due to play three shows in Liverpool from June 13-15, one night in Cardiff on June 18 and three in London’s Wembley Stadium on June 18-22.
