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.
Among the tracks are three re-recordings, including a pair of cuts she wrote and recorded specifically for the The Hunger Games soundtrack, which was released more than a decade ago.The two tunes are “Eyes Open” and “Safe & Sound,” which credits musicians Joy Williams and John Paul White as featured acts.
At the time the song was originally made available, those two were in a duo known as The Civil Wars, though now they work independently.Also included in Swift’s offering is a new version of “If This Was a Movie.” That tune was originally released as a track on the deluxe edition of Swift’s third album Speak Now.But perhaps the biggest surprise for Swifties is the final song on the list, “All of the Girls You Loved Before,” which has never been heard before.The cover used on YouTube is from her album Lover, so it appears the cut was written and recorded around that time.
It’s interesting that Swift is pulling from different periods of her career – eras, as she’s used to saying – for this special drop.Of the four tracks, “If This Was a Movie” has already proved to be the most successful, hitting No.
10 on the Hot 100 chart when it was first unleashed.Meanwhile, “Eyes Open” and “Safe & Sound” both performed well on the same ranking upon their original release, with the former peaking inside the top 20 and the latter reaching the top 40.“Safe & Sound” even won a Grammy (out of two nominations) and was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Original Song.Swift only gave fans a few hours’ notice of the new music, taking to her Instagram Story last Thursday to announce the surprise release.“In celebration of The Eras Tour, I’m releasing 4 previously unreleased songs tonight at midnight,” she wrote, which, of course,.
