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's new movie enjoyed the biggest concert film opening weekend ever, the New York Times reports. It is estimated that Taylor Swift The Eras Tour generated $126 million in global ticket sales after screenings began on October 12. $95 million of that overall figure came from North American theater, with the further $31 million coming via the 94 international territories the film is also currently screening in.
Swift, working without a studio, struck an exclusive deal with AMC theaters that meant she took home 57% of ticket revenue from North America.
This works out at $55 million dollars. It is reported that the movie had a budget of $15 million.
