Taylor Alison Swift (born 1989-12-13) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, actress, director, philanthropist, businesswoman, and cultural icon. Her discography spans multiple genres and her narrative songwriting, which is often inspired by her personal life, has received widespread media coverage and critical praise. 
Born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, Swift relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, at the age of 14 to pursue a career in country music. She signed a songwriting deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in 2004 and a recording deal with Big Machine Records in 2005 and released her eponymous Taylor Swift (album)|debut studio album in 2006. She explored country pop on her second and third studio albums, Fearless (2008) and Speak Now (2010). The success of the former's singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me" on both country and pop radio established Swift as a leading crossover artist. She experimented further with pop, rock, and electronic genres on her fourth studio album, Red (2012). Her fifth, the synth-pop album 1989 (2014), effectively transformed her status from country songstress to pop star, supported by the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood". The media scrutiny on her personal life that followed largely inspired Swift's sixth studio album, Reputation (2017), which delved into urban sounds.
Parting ways with Big Machine Records to sign with Republic Records in 2018, Swift released her seventh studio album, Lover, in 2019. After consistent commercial success in the 2010s, she ventured into indie folk and alternative rock on her eighth and ninth studio albums, Folklore and Evermore (2020). Her lyricism on the two albums, inspired by escapism during the COVID-19 pandemic, was commended for its nuanced storytelling. To gain ownership ovr the masters of her back catalog, Swift released two re-recordedalbums in 2021, Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version), earning acclaim for their enhanced musicality and stronger vocals. In 2022, she released her tenth studio album, Midnights In 2023, she announced the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version).
