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.
Taylor Swift rocks MetLife Stadium with hottest ticket of the ‘Cruel Summer’ season
nypost.comnext-level Eras Tour — Swift’s first concert trek since 2018’s “Reputation” Tour — launched in March, there has been no calming down for Swifties.

Then she proceeded to flex her left bicep and kiss it before launching into “The Man” surrounded by a bevy of business-suited dancers.As much as her girl-next-door appeal has taken her to the kind of pop superstardom that few have anymore, she is very much a chick in charge.Yes, some of the most wildly emotional responses — from a crowd that seemed to sing every word all night long — came from old-school Swift songs such as “You Belong to Me” and “Love Story” that still had every bit of their country charm.But when Swift went into her “Reputation” era with “Ready for It” — dressed in a one-armed, one-legged catsuit — she embraced her sexiness as a 33-year-old woman who, to quote another former pop ingenue, is not that innocent anymore.And while she’s no Beyonce in the dancing department, she sure knows how to work a massive stage.
