<\/p>

Taylor Swift<\/strong> is an American singer-songwriter who was born on December 13, 1989. The music industry and popular culture have been impacted by her songwriting, artistic ability, and business acumen. Her life has also received much media coverage.<\/p>

Swift signed with Big Machine Records in 2005 to start a career as a country singer, having started writing songs professionally at the age of 14. Under the label, she put out six studio albums, the first four of which, Taylor Swift (2006), were played on country radio. With the help of the country pop hits “Love Story” and “You Belong with Me” from her second album, Fearless (2008), she shot to mainstream success. The rock inspirations of Speak Now (2010) were combined with electronic elements in Red (2012), which also featured Swift’s first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. With the synth-pop album 1989 (2014), which was backed by the number-one hits “Shake It Off,” “Blank Space,” and “Bad Blood,” she broke away from her country image. The hip-hop-flavored Reputation (2017) and its #1 position were inspired by media scrutiny.<\/p>

With his assistance, Swift met with big musical labels, had an original song included on a Maybelline compilation CD, and modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch as part of their “Rising Stars” campaign. Swift, who was 13 at the time, won an artist development agreement after singing original songs at an RCA Records showcase. She subsequently started traveling to Nashville often with her mother.

And she would enter with the most amazing hooks.” Swift was the youngest performer to be signed by the Sony\/ATV Tree publishing house . However, she left the company at the age of 14 because of RCA Records’ lack of success, which was eventually acquired by Sony Music.<\/p>
