Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania) is an American singer-songwriter renowned for her autobiographical songwriting and artistic reinventions, transitioning from country roots to global pop stardom[3][4]. She began her career as a teenage country artist, signing with Big Machine Records in 2005 and releasing her eponymous debut album in 2006, which included hits like "Teardrops on My Guitar." Her early albums, including *Fearless* (2008) and *Speak Now* (2010), combined country and pop elements, with *Fearless* earning widespread acclaim and multi-platinum status[3].

She has earned 14 Grammy Awards, including being the first woman to win Album of the Year three times, and is recognized as the highest-grossing live music artist and one of the best-selling musicians ever[3][4]. Her career highlights include numerous chart-topping singles such as "Love Story," "You Belong with Me," "Shake It Off," and "Anti-Hero," as well as record-breaking tours, most notably the 2023–2024 Eras Tour, widely praised for its scale and production[1][4]. Beyond music, Swift has engaged in philanthropy focusing on education and disaster relief and has taken significant creative control over her career, including re-recording her early albums to own her masters[1][4]. In recent developments, Swift released her 12th studio album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, on October 3, 2025.
