Taylor Swift

American singer, songwriter, and actress

Taylor Swift is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Hailing from a Christmas tree farm in West Reading, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville as a teen to jumpstart her career. Her 2006 self-titled debut quickly took the country world by storm, and she’d later switch genres to dominate the pop space as well. Her second album, Fearless, won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, an accolade she’s received three more times for 1989, folklore, and Midnights, making her the first artist in history to receive the award four times.

In total, she’s released 11 studio albums, and in 2021, she began re-recording her first six records, known as Taylor’s Versions. (1989 (Taylor’s Version) was listed at no. 19 on Apple Music’s 100 Best Albums list.) In 2023, she embarked on her blockbuster Eras Tour, which took audiences on an ambitious journey through her work, highlighting her vast catalog of chart-topping hits—such as We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Cruel Summer—as well as fan-favorite deep cuts. She also counts Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Future, Kendrick Lamar, Lana del Rey, The Chicks, Zayn Malik, Ice Spice, and more on her list of collaborators.

Swift—who was named Apple Music’s Songwriter of the Year in 2020 and Artist of the Year in 2023—has appeared in the films Valentine's Day, Cats, and Amsterdam, as well as Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version), which became the No. 1 concert film and documentary of all time.
