Bio
Born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania, to parents Andrea Finlay and Scott Kingsley Swift, Taylor Swift is a pop country singer-songwriter who has written songs for artists including The Band Perry and Little Big Town. Taylor Swift, who began her career in 2006 with the release of her debut single “Tim McGraw” and album “Taylor Swift” (which became multi-platinum), has had a stellar career so far.
In November 2008, Swift released her second album and won four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. In 2009, Taylor was involved in “The Kanye Incident” at the MTV Video Music Awards. The incident occurred when West interrupted her acceptance speech for Best Female Video to proclaim that Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” should have won instead.
Taylor’s third album, Speak Now, was released on October 25, 2010; it sold over a million copies in its first week. And two years later, Red—Taylor’s fourth studio effort—sold 1.21 million units in one week! She set the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling digital album by a female artist in 2012 with her release Speak Now, and she holds the record for most simultaneous U.S. Hot 100 hits by a female artist with ten songs—including her chart-toppers “Love Story” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”—on that list at once.
Swift has also acted in several films. Her most recent credits include roles in the 2012 animated feature The Lorax and as a waitress named Grace on an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2010). In 2014, Swift’s sound ultimately transitioned to pop music—she released her fourth album, 1989, that October. In its first week, Taylor Swift sold over a million copies of her fifth studio album, 1989. She began touring worldwide to promote the record on April 15, 2015. Her sixth album, Reputation, was released two years later and sold over 1 million copies in its debut week. Taylor’s Reputation Tour kicked off on May 8, 2018, with superstar acts like Shawn Mendes opening up for her.
