Career |
She released her debut single, "Tim McGraw", in 2006 at the age of 16. In 2008, she sold more albums than anyone else that year.
She won Country Music Television's (CMT) "Breakthrough Video of the Year" award in 2007 for "Tim McGraw". She was also nominated by the Academy of Country Music for "Top New Female Vocalist".
The lead single from Swift's fourth album Red, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", became her first number-one song on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single "I Knew You Were Trouble" reached number two on the chart while becoming her first chart-topper on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs chart.
Swift performed "Shake It Off", the lead single from her fifth album, 1989, at the 2014 MTV VMAs.[2]1989 was released in October 27, 2014. The singles "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood" all reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. These singles, along with "Style" and "Wildest Dreams", have also topped the Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs chart.
Her single, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever", was recorded with English singer Zayn Malik (former member of One Direction). It was released as a single for the soundtrack of the film Fifty Shades Darker (2017). It reached number two on the Hot 100 in the US and Canada.
On June 8, 2017, Swift restored her music on streaming sites such as Spotify and Apple Music after previously removing it from being streamed. This move was seen by critics as a move in her alleged rivalry against singer Katy Perry, whose album was released the next day. On August 25, 2017, Swift released the single "Look What You Made Me Do" and announced that her sixth studio album, Reputation, would be released on November 10, 2017.
Personal life |
Swift was born in Reading, Pennsylvania[3], to Scott and Andrea Swift, and was raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania on a Christmas tree farm[4].
Swift has two cats, both of the Scottish Fold breed. One is named "Meredith" after the doctor on Grey's Anatomy.[5] The second is named "Olivia" after the detective, now sergeant, on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.[6][5]
Swift has ADHD and takes medication for it since childhood.[3] She has one sister and her name is Zoë Swift and a brother by the name of Austin Swift. She grew up loving them both but she did have a few arguments with her brother. She has a cousin named Taylor as well and they were very close.
