Swift's third studio album, Speak Now (2010), spawned the two-time Grammy Award-winning single "Mean". Her cross-genre fourth studio album, Red (2012), earned Swift her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". Swift fully transitioned to pop music on her next studio album, 1989 (2014), which made her the first solo female artist to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year twice. The album included three Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood". Preceded by her fifth U.S. number-one single "Look What You Made Me Do", Swift's hip hop-inspired sixth studio album, Reputation (2017), made her the first artist to have four albums each sell over one million copies in their opening week in the U.S. Its follow-up, Lover (2019), was the world's best-selling studio album of 2019. Swift opted for indie folk and alternative rock on her critically acclaimed eighth studio album, Folklore (2020). The album and its lead single, "Cardigan", made Swift the first artist to have an album and a single debut at number one on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 simultaneously.

Having sold over 50 million albums and 150 million singles worldwide, Swift is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Her accolades include ten Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, and seven Guinness World Records; she is the most-awarded act and woman at the American Music Awards (29 wins) and Billboard Music Awards (23 wins), respectively. She has been included in multiple power rankings, such as Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world (2010, 2015 and 2019), Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time (2015), the Forbes Celebrity 100 (placing first in 2016 and 2019), and Billboard's Greatest of All Time Artists Chart (placing eighth). She was named Woman of the Decade (2010s) by Billboard and the Artist of the Decade (2010s) by the American Music Awards.

Life and career

1989–2003: Early life

Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989,[4] in West Reading, Pennsylvania.[5] Her father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is a former stockbroker for Merrill Lynch; her mother, Andrea Gardner Swift (née Finlay), is a former homemaker who previously worked as a mutual fund marketing executive.[6] Swift, who said she has Scottish heritage,[7] was named after the singer-songwriter James Taylor.[8] Her younger brother, Austin Kingsley Swift, is an actor.[9] Swift spent her early years on a Christmas tree farm that her father purchased from one of his clients.[10][11] Swift identifies as Christian.[12] She attended preschool and kindergarten at the Alvernia Montessori School, run by the Bernadine Franciscan sisters,[13] before transferring to The Wyndcroft School.[14] The family moved to a rented house in the suburban town of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania,[15] where she attended Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School.[16]

At age nine, Swift became interested in musical theater and performed in four Berks Youth Theatre Academy productions.[17] She also traveled regularly to New York City for vocal and acting lessons.[18] Swift later shifted her focus toward country music, inspired by Shania Twain's songs, which made her "want to just run around the block four times and daydream about everything."[19] She spent weekends performing at local festivals and events.[20][21] After watching a documentary about Faith Hill, Swift felt sure she needed to move to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a career in music.[22] She traveled with her mother at age eleven to visit Nashville record labels and submitted demo tapes of Dolly Parton and The Chicks karaoke covers.[23] She was rejected, however, because "everyone in that town wanted to do what I wanted to do. So, I kept thinking to myself, I need to figure out a way to be different."[24]

When Swift was around 12 years old, computer repairman and local musician Ronnie Cremer taught her to play guitar. He helped with her first efforts as a songwriter, leading her to write "Lucky You".[25] In 2003, Swift and her parents started working with New York-based talent manager Dan Dymtrow. With his help, Swift modeled for Abercrombie & Fitch as part of their "Rising Stars" campaign, had an original song included on a Maybelline compilation CD, and attended meetings with major record labels.[26] After performing original songs at an RCA Records showcase, Swift was given an artist development deal and began making frequent trips to Nashville with her mother.[27][28]

To help Swift break into country music, her father transferred to Merrill Lynch's Nashville office when she was 14 years old, and the family relocated to a lakefront house in Hendersonville, Tennessee.[10][29] Swift attended Hendersonville High School[30] but transferred to the Aaron Academy after two years, which could better accommodate her touring schedule through homeschooling; she graduated a year early.[31]

2004–2008: Career beginnings and Taylor Swift

In Nashville, Swift worked with experienced Music Row songwriters such as Troy Verges, Brett Beavers, Brett James, Mac McAnally, and the Warren Brothers,[32][33] and formed a lasting working relationship with Liz Rose.[34] They began meeting for two-hour writing sessions every Tuesday afternoon after school.[35] Rose thought the sessions were "some of the easiest I've ever done. Basically, I was just her editor. She'd write about what happened in school that day. She had such a clear vision of what she was trying to say. And she'd come in with the most incredible hooks." Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Tree publishing house[36] but left the Sony-owned RCA Records at the age of 14.[21] She later said: "I genuinely felt that I was running out of time. I wanted to capture these years of my life on an album while they still represented what I was going through."[37]

At an industry showcase at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe in 2005, Swift caught the attention of Scott Borchetta, a DreamWorks Records executive who was preparing to form an independent record label, Big Machine Records. She had first met Borchetta in 2004.[38] Swift became one of Big Machine's first signings, and her father purchased a three-percent stake in the company for an estimated $120,000.[39][40] She began working on her eponymous debut album shortly after. Swift persuaded Big Machine to hire her demo producer Nathan Chapman, with whom she felt she had the right "chemistry".[21] She wrote three of the album's songs alone, and co-wrote the remaining eight with Rose, Robert Ellis Orrall, Brian Maher, and Angelo Petraglia.[41] Taylor Swift was released on October 24, 2006.[42] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described it as "a small masterpiece of pop-minded country, both wide-eyed and cynical, held together by Ms. Swift's firm, pleading voice."[43] Taylor Swift peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States, spending 157 weeks there—the longest stay on the chart by any release in the U.S. that decade.[44] As of August 2016, the album had sold over 7.75 million copies worldwide.[45]

Big Machine Records was still in its infancy during the June 2006 release of the lead single, "Tim McGraw". Swift and her mother helped "stuff the CD singles into envelopes to send to radio."[46] She spent much of 2006 promoting Taylor Swift with a radio tour, television appearances, and opening for Rascal Flatts on select dates during their 2006 tour[47][48] after they fired their previous opening act, Eric Church, for playing longer than his allotted time. Church jokingly told Swift she should give him her first gold record as thanks for getting fired. She sent him her first gold record with a note that said, "Thanks for playing too long and too loud on the Flatts tour. I sincerely appreciate it. Taylor."[49]

Borchetta said that although record industry peers initially disapproved of his signing a 16-year-old singer-songwriter, Swift tapped into a previously unknown market—teenage girls who listen to country music.[10] Following "Tim McGraw", four more singles were released throughout 2007 and 2008: "Teardrops on My Guitar", "Our Song", "Picture to Burn" and "Should've Said No". All appeared on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart in the United States, with "Our Song", and "Should've Said No" reaching number one. With "Our Song", Swift became the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the chart.[50] "Teardrops on My Guitar" reached number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in the United States.[51] Swift also released the holiday album Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection in October 2007 and the EP Beautiful Eyes in July 2008.[52][53] She promoted her debut album extensively as the opening act for other artists on their tours.[54]

Swift won accolades for Taylor Swift. She was one of the recipients of the Nashville Songwriters Association's Songwriter/Artist of the Year in 2007, becoming the youngest person to be honored with the title.[55] She also won the Country Music Association's Horizon Award for Best New Artist,[56] the Academy of Country Music Awards' Top New Female Vocalist,[57] and the American Music Awards' Favorite Country Female Artist honor.[58] She was also nominated for Best New Artist at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.[59] She opened for the Rascal Flatts on their 2008 summer and fall tour.[60] In July of that year, Swift began a romance with singer Joe Jonas that ended three months later.[61][62]

2008–2010: Fearless and acting

Swift's second studio album, Fearless, was released on November 11, 2008.[42] The lead single, "Love Story", was released in September 2008. It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100[63] and number one in Australia.[64] Four more singles were released throughout 2008 and 2009: "White Horse", "You Belong with Me", "Fifteen" and "Fearless". "You Belong with Me" was the album's highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number two.[65] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was the top-selling album of 2009 in the United States.[66] Swift's first concert tour, the Fearless Tour, promoted the album[67] and grossed over $63 million.[68] Journey to Fearless, a three-part documentary miniseries, was aired on television and later released on DVD and Blu-ray.[69] Swift also performed as a supporting act for Keith Urban's Escape Together World Tour.[70]

Pictured at the premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie, Swift had a cameo appearance in the film and recorded two songs for its soundtrack.[71][72]

In 2009, the music video for "You Belong with Me" was named Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards.[73] Her acceptance speech was interrupted by rapper Kanye West,[74] an incident that became the subject of controversy, widespread media attention, and many Internet memes.[75] James Montgomery of MTV argued the incident and subsequent media attention turned Swift into "a bona-fide mainstream celebrity".[76] That year she won five American Music Awards, including Artist of the Year and Favorite Country Album.[77] Billboard named her 2009's Artist of the Year.[78] The album ranked number 99 on NPR's 2017 list of the 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women.[79]

At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, Fearless was named Album of the Year and Best Country Album, and "White Horse" was named Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Swift was the youngest artist to win Album of the Year.[80] During the ceremony, Swift sang "You Belong with Me" and "Rhiannon" with Stevie Nicks, a performance that received negative reviews and caused media backlash.[76][81] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times found it "refreshing to see someone so gifted make the occasional flub" and described Swift as "the most important new pop star of the past few years".[82] Swift became the youngest artist to be named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association (CMA).[83] Fearless also won the CMA Album of the Year Award.[84]

Swift contributed backing vocals to John Mayer's "Half of My Heart", a single from his fourth album, Battle Studies (2009).[85] She co-wrote and recorded "Best Days of Your Life" with Kellie Pickler,[86] and co-wrote two songs for the Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack—"You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home" and "Crazier".[72] Swift also provided vocals for Boys Like Girls' "Two Is Better Than One".[87] She contributed two songs to the Valentine's Day soundtrack, including the country-pop song "Today Was a Fairytale", which became her first number one on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and her second number-two peaking song in the U.S.[88][89] While filming her cinematic debut Valentine's Day in October 2009, Swift began a romantic relationship with co-star Taylor Lautner; they broke up later that year.[90][91] The romantic comedy, released in 2010, saw her play the ditzy girlfriend of a high school jock, a role which the Los Angeles Times felt showed Swift had "serious comedic potential".[92] On the other hand, in a scathing review, a critic for Variety deemed her "entirely undirected", arguing "she needs to find a skilled director to tamp her down and channel her obviously abundant energy".[93]

Swift made her TV acting debut in a 2009 episode of CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, playing a rebellious teenager. The New York Times noted the character allowed Swift to be "a little bit naughty, and credibly so".[94] Later that year, Swift both hosted and performed as the musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live and was the first host to write their own opening monologue.[95][96] Entertainment Weekly described her as "this season's best Saturday Night Live host so far", noting she "was always up for the challenge, seemed to be having fun, and helped the rest of the cast nail the punchlines".[97]

2010–2014: Speak Now and Red

In August 2010, Swift released "Mine", the lead single from her third studio album, Speak Now. It entered the U.S. charts at number three, making Swift the second female artist in the history of the Hot 100 (after Mariah Carey) to debut multiple tracks in the top five in one year; the other was "Today Was a Fairytale" at number two.[98] Swift wrote the album alone and co-produced every track.[99] Speak Now, released on October 25, 2010,[42] debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was the 16th album in chart history to achieve opening week sales of one million copies.[100] It became the fastest-selling digital album by a female artist, with 278,000 downloads in a week, earning Swift an entry in the 2010 Guinness World Records.[101] Three of the album's singles, "Mine", "Back to December", and "Mean", peaked in the top ten in Canada,[89] while in the U.S., the earlier two along with the title track peaked in the top 10 of the Hot 100 chart. Later in 2010, she briefly dated actor Jake Gyllenhaal.[102]

"Mean" won Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards.[103] Swift performed it during the ceremony. Claire Suddath of Time felt she "delivered her comeback on-key and with a vengeance";[104] Jayme Deerwester of USA Today wrote that the criticism in 2010 seemed to have "made her a better songwriter and live performer".[105] Swift won other awards for Speak Now, including Songwriter/Artist of the Year by the Nashville Songwriters Association (2010 and 2011),[106][107] Woman of the Year by Billboard (2011),[108] and Entertainer of the Year by the Academy of Country Music (2011 and 2012)[109] and the Country Music Association in 2011.[110] At the American Music Awards of 2011, Swift won Artist of the Year and Favorite Country Album.[111] Rolling Stone placed Speak Now at number 45 in its 2012 list of the "50 Best Female Albums of All Time", writing: "She might get played on the country station, but she's one of the few genuine rock stars we've got these days, with a flawless ear for what makes a song click."[112]

Swift performing during the Speak Now World Tour in 2012

The Speak Now World Tour ran from February 2011 to March 2012 and grossed over $123 million.[113] In November 2011, Swift released her first live album, Speak Now World Tour: Live.[114] The following month, she contributed two original songs to The Hunger Games soundtrack album: "Safe & Sound", co-written and recorded with the Civil Wars and T-Bone Burnett, and "Eyes Open". "Safe & Sound" won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media and was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.[115][116] Swift contributed vocals to rapper B.o.B's "Both of Us", released in May 2012.[117] From July to September 2012, Swift dated political heir Conor Kennedy.[118] In August, Swift released "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", the lead single from her fourth studio album, Red. It became her first number one in the U.S. and New Zealand[119][120] and reached the top slot on iTunes' digital song sales chart 50 minutes after its release, earning the Fastest Selling Single in Digital History Guinness World Record.[121] Swift released the album's second single, "Begin Again", in October. It reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100.[122] Other singles released from the album include "I Knew You Were Trouble", "22", "Everything Has Changed", "The Last Time", and "Red". "I Knew You Were Trouble" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.[122]

Red was released on October 22, 2012,[42] incorporating new genres for Swift, such as heartland rock, dubstep and dance-pop. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.21 million copies. This marked the highest opening sales in a decade in the United States, and made Swift the first female to have two million-selling album openings, a record recognized by the Guinness World Records.[123][124] The Red Tour ran from March 2013 to June 2014 and grossed over $150 million; it broke the ticket sales record in China with all 18,000 tickets sold in 60 seconds.[125][126] Red earned several accolades, including four nominations at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards.[127] Its single "I Knew You Were Trouble" won Best Female Video at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.[128] Swift was named Best Female Country Artist at the 2012 American Music Awards and Artist of the Year at the 2013 ceremony.[129][130] She received the Nashville Songwriters Association's Songwriter/Artist Award for the fifth and sixth consecutive years in 2012 and 2013.[131] Swift was also honored by the Association with a special Pinnacle Award, making her the second recipient of the accolade after Garth Brooks.[132] During this time, she had a short-term relationship with British singer Harry Styles.[133]

In 2013, Swift co-wrote and co-produced "Sweeter than Fiction" with Jack Antonoff for the One Chance film soundtrack and received a Best Original Song nomination at the 71st Golden Globe Awards.[134] She provided guest vocals for Tim McGraw's song "Highway Don't Care", featuring guitar work by Keith Urban.[135] Swift performed "As Tears Go By" with the Rolling Stones in Chicago, Illinois, as part of their 50 & Counting tour,[136] and said that the band was a major influence on her career outlook.[137] She also joined Florida Georgia Line on stage during their set at the 2013 Country Radio Seminar to sing "Cruise".[138] Swift voiced Audrey, a tree lover, in the animated film The Lorax (2012),[139] made a cameo in the sitcom New Girl (2013),[140] and had a supporting role in the film adaptation of The Giver (2014).[141]

2014–2017: 1989

In March 2014, Swift relocated to New York City.[142] Around this time, she was working on her fifth studio album, 1989, with co-writers Antonoff, Max Martin, Shellback, Imogen Heap, Ryan Tedder, and Ali Payami.[143] She promoted the album through various campaigns, including inviting fans to secret album-listening sessions.[144] Credited as her "first documented, official pop album", it marked a departure from her country albums.[145] The album was released on October 27, 2014.[42]

Swift performing during the 1989 World Tour, the highest-grossing tour of 2015

1989 sold 1.28 million copies in the U.S. during the first week of release and debuted atop the Billboard 200. This made Swift the first act to have three albums sell more than one million copies in their opening week, for which she earned a Guinness World Record.[146][147] As of June 2017, 1989 had sold over 10 million copies worldwide.[148] The album was supported by three U.S. number-one singles—"Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood" featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar, two U.S. top-10 entries—"Style" and "Wildest Dreams", and two U.S. top-50 entries—"Out of the Woods" and "New Romantics".[149] "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood" also topped the charts in Australia and Canada.[64][89] The video for "Bad Blood" won Video of the Year and Best Collaboration at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.[150] The 1989 World Tour ran from May to December 2015 and was the highest-grossing tour of the year with $250 million in total revenue.[151]

Prior to 1989's release, Swift stressed the importance of albums to artists and fans.[152] In November 2014, she removed her entire catalog from Spotify, arguing that the streaming company's ad-supported, free service undermined the premium service, which provides higher royalties for songwriters.[153] In a June 2015 open letter, Swift criticized Apple Music for not offering royalties to artists during the streaming service's free three-month trial period and stated that she would pull 1989 from the catalog.[154] The following day, Apple announced that it would pay artists during the free trial period,[155] and Swift agreed to stream 1989 on the streaming service.[156] Swift's intellectual property rights management and holding company, TAS Rights Management, filed for 73 trademarks related to Swift and the 1989 era memes.[157] She re-added her entire catalog plus 1989 to Spotify, Amazon Music and Google Play and other digital streaming platforms in June 2017.[158]

Swift was named Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2014, becoming the first artist to win the award twice.[159] At the 2014 American Music Awards, Swift received the inaugural Dick Clark Award for Excellence.[160] In 2015, Swift won the Brit Award for International Female Solo Artist.[161] Swift was one of eight artists to receive a 50th Anniversary Milestone Award at the 2015 Academy of Country Music Awards.[162] At the 58th Grammy Awards in 2016, 1989 won three awards—Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Music Video for "Bad Blood". Swift was the first woman and fifth act overall to win Album of the Year twice as a lead artist.[163] She dated Scottish DJ and record producer Calvin Harris from March 2015 to June 2016.[164][165] Prior to their breakup, Swift and Harris co-wrote the song "This Is What You Came For", which featured vocals from Barbadian singer Rihanna; Swift was initially credited under the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg.[166] She subsequently dated English actor Tom Hiddleston for a few months,[167] and began dating English actor Joe Alwyn from September 2016.[168] Swift wrote the song "Better Man" for Little Big Town's seventh album, The Breaker, which was released in November.[169] The song earned Swift an award for Song of the Year at the 51st CMA Awards.[170] Swift and English singer Zayn Malik released a single together, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever", for the soundtrack of the film Fifty Shades Darker (2017). The song reached number two in the U.S[171] and won Best Collaboration at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.[172]

2017–2019: Reputation

In August 2017, Swift successfully sued David Mueller, a former morning show personality for Denver's KYGO-FM. Four years earlier, Swift had informed Mueller's bosses that he had sexually assaulted her by groping her at an event. After being fired, Mueller accused Swift of lying and sued her for damages from his loss of employment. Shortly after, Swift counter-sued for sexual assault for a dollar.[173] The jury rejected Mueller's claims and ruled in favor of Swift.[174] Swift thereafter cleared her social media accounts[175] and then released "Look What You Made Me Do" as the lead single from her sixth album, Reputation.[176] The song topped the charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the UK, and the U.S.[177][178]

Swift released Reputation in November 2017. The album incorporates a heavier, darker electropop sound, with hip hop and EDM influences, new genres for Swift.[179] It debuted atop the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.21 million copies. With this achievement, Swift became the first act to have four albums sell one million copies within one week in the U.S.[180] The album topped the charts in the UK, Australia, and Canada.[181][182] First-week worldwide sales amounted to two million copies.[183] The album has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide as of 2018.[184] It spawned six other singles, including the U.S. top-five entry "...Ready for It?",[178] and three top-20 singles—"End Game", featuring Ed Sheeran and rapper Future, "Gorgeous", and "Delicate".[149] Other singles include "New Year's Day", which was exclusively released to U.S. country radio,[185] and "Getaway Car", which served as the final single in Australia.[186]

In April 2018, Swift featured on Sugarland's "Babe" from their album Bigger.[lower-alpha 1] In support of Reputation, she embarked on her Reputation Stadium Tour, which ran from May to November 2018.[188] In the U.S., the tour grossed $266.1 million in box office and sold over two million tickets, breaking Swift's own record for the highest-grossing U.S. tour by a woman, which was previously held by her 1989 World Tour in 2015 ($181.5 million).[189] It also broke the record for the highest-grossing North American concert tour in history. Worldwide, the tour grossed $345.7 million,[190] making it the second highest-grossing concert tour of the year.[191] At the American Music Awards of 2018, Swift won Tour of the Year, Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist, and Favorite Pop/Rock Album for Reputation. With a total of 23 awards, she became the most awarded female winner in AMA history, a record previously held by Whitney Houston.[192]

Reputation was Swift's last album under her 12-year contract with Big Machine Records. In November 2018, she signed a new multi-album deal with Big Machine's distributor Universal Music Group; in the U.S., her subsequent releases were promoted under the Republic Records imprint. Swift said the contract included a provision for her to maintain ownership of her master recordings. In addition, in the event that Universal sells any part of its stake in Spotify, Spotify agreed to distribute a non-recoupable portion of the proceeds among their artists.[193] In late November, Big Machine Records released a Reputation Stadium Tour playlist for streaming services. The playlist includes every song performed on B-stages during the Reputation Stadium Tour.[194] On December 31, Swift released her Reputation Stadium Tour's accompanying concert film on Netflix.[195]

2019–present: Lover and Folklore

In April 2019, Swift released "Me!", featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco as the lead single from her seventh studio album, Lover.[196] The song debuted at number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 three days after its release and jumped to number two the following week—the biggest single-week jump in chart history.[197] Lover's second single, "You Need to Calm Down", followed in June and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.[198] The title track, the album's third single, became the third consecutive Hot 100 top-10 single from the album.[199] At the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, "Me!" won Best Visual Effects, and "You Need to Calm Down" won Video of the Year and Video for Good. Swift was the first female and second artist overall to win Video of the Year for a video that they co-directed.[200] Lover was released on August 23. It debuted atop the Billboard 200 with a first-week tally of 867,000 units, including 679,000 copies sold, making Swift the first female artist to have six albums sell more than 500,000 copies each in a single week.[201] All of the album's 18 songs entered the Billboard Hot 100, setting a record for the most simultaneous chart entries for a female artist.[202] Lover was the best-selling physical album of 2019 in the U.S. It was the year's best-selling studio album worldwide, with 3.2 million copies sold.[203] The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) honored Swift as the global best-selling artist of 2019, becoming the first woman to win the honor twice, having previously won in 2014.[204]

In June 2019, talent manager Scooter Braun acquired Big Machine Records, Swift's former record label, and the masters for her first six studio albums.[205] Swift disdained the transaction, stating she had been trying to buy the masters for years, and described Braun as an "incessant, manipulative bully".[205] In August, Swift announced plans to rerecord the albums in November 2020.[206] In November, Swift said that Braun and Big Machine founder Scott Borchetta had blocked her from performing her older songs at the 2019 American Music Awards and from using older material for her Netflix documentary Miss Americana.[207] After a series of disputes, Big Machine issued a statement saying it had "agreed to grant all licenses of their artists' performances to stream post show and for re-broadcast on mutually approved platforms" for the American Music Awards, though it did not mention Swift by name.[208] Swift won six American Music Awards that year, including Artist of the Decade for the 2010s. In April 2020, Big Machine released Live from Clear Channel Stripped 2008, a live album of a 2008 radio show performance.[209] Swift said she did not authorize the release.[210]

In November 2019, she released an original song she wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber titled "Beautiful Ghosts" for the movie adaptation of Lloyd Webber's musical Cats (2019), in which she cast as Bombalurina.[211][212] Although critics reviewed the film negatively, Swift's role received positive feedback.[213] In December, she composed, recorded, and released a Christmas single, "Christmas Tree Farm".[214] On January 23, Miss Americana premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and was released on Netflix on January 31.[215][216] The documentary includes the song "Only the Young", which Swift wrote after the 2018 United States elections.[217] In February 2020, Swift signed an exclusive global publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group, after her 16-year-old contract with Sony/ATV Music Publishing expired.[218] That month, she released "The Man" as Lover's fourth single.[219] Lover Fest, Swift's concert tour in support of the album, was postponed to 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[220] Footage from Swift's 2019 City of Lover concert in Paris aired on ABC on May 17, 2020, and was made available for streaming on Hulu and Disney+ the next day. Swift also released live versions of the Lover album tracks she performed at the one-off Paris concert after the television special's premiere.[221]

On July 24, Swift released her eighth studio album, Folklore, which was announced less than 24 hours before.[222] Written and recorded while Swift was in isolation due to COVID-19, the album included musical collaborations with Bon Iver, Aaron Dessner, and Jack Antonoff.[223] "Cardigan" was released as the lead single, with a music video released along with the album.[224] Folklore received widespread acclaim from critics, who praised Swift's indie-folk transition, storytelling, and lyricism.[225] The album sold two million copies globally in its first week, 1.3 million of which were sold on its first day alone.[226][227] Swift also broke the record for first-day album streams by a female artist on Spotify with over 80.6 million streams.[228]

Artistry

Influences

One of Swift's earliest musical memories is listening to her maternal grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, sing in church.[6] As a child, she enjoyed Disney film soundtracks: "My parents noticed that, once I had run out of words, I would just make up my own".[229] Swift has said she owes her confidence to her mother, who helped her prepare for class presentations as a child.[230] She also attributes her "fascination with writing and storytelling" to her mother.[231] Swift was drawn to the storytelling aspect of country music,[232] and was introduced to the genre listening to "the great female country artists of the '90s"—Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and the Dixie Chicks."[233][234] Twain, both as a songwriter and performer, was her biggest musical influence.[235] Hill was Swift's childhood role model: "Everything she said, did, wore, I tried to copy it".[236] She admired the Dixie Chicks' defiant attitude and their ability to play their own instruments.[237] The band's "Cowboy Take Me Away" was the first song Swift learned to play on the guitar.[238] Swift also explored the music of older country stars, including Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Tammy Wynette.[20] She believes Parton is "an amazing example to every female songwriter out there".[239] Alt-country artists like Ryan Adams,[240] Patty Griffin[241] and Lori McKenna have also inspired Swift.[10]

Swift lists Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones,[137] Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, and Carly Simon as her career role models. Discussing McCartney and Harris, Swift has said, "They've taken chances, but they've also been the same artist for their entire careers".[10][242] McCartney, both as a Beatle and a solo artist, makes Swift feel "as if I've been let into his heart and his mind [...] He's out there continuing to make his fans so happy. Any musician could only dream of a legacy like that."[243] She likes Springsteen for being "so musically relevant after such a long period of time".[244] She aspires to be like Harris as she grows older because of prioritizing music over fame.[245] Swift says of Kristofferson that he "shines in songwriting",[246] and admires Simon for being "an emotional" but "a strong person".[247]

Swift has been influenced by other non-country artists. As a pre-teen, she enjoyed bubblegum pop acts including Hanson and Britney Spears, for whom Swift had an "unwavering devotion".[248][249] In her high school years, she listened to emo-rock bands like Dashboard Confessional,[250] Fall Out Boy,[251] and Jimmy Eat World,[252] and pop/R&B performers like Justin Timberlake, whom she called her "musical crush".[253] Swift's fifth album, the pop-focused 1989, was influenced by some of her favorite 1980s pop acts, including Peter Gabriel,[254] Annie Lennox, Phil Collins and "Like a Prayer-era Madonna".[255] Discussing Madonna, Swift said: "One element of Madonna's career that really takes center stage is how many times she's reinvented herself. It's easier to stay in one look, one comfort zone, one musical style. It's inspiring to see someone whose only predictable quality is being unpredictable."[256] Swift named Pete Wentz and Lana Del Rey as her favorite lyricists.[257]

Musical style

Swift's music consists primarily of elements of pop,[258] synth-pop,[259] country,[260] country pop[261] and rock.[259] Her later works draw from genres such as indie folk,[262] alternative rock,[263] R&B,[264][265] EDM,[266] hip hop[267] and trap.[268] Swift described herself as a country artist until the release of 1989 (2014), which she characterized as her first "sonically cohesive pop album".[269] Rolling Stone wrote, "[Swift] might get played on the country station, but she's one of the few genuine rock stars we've got these days."[270] According to The New York Times, "There isn't much in Ms. Swift's music to indicate country—a few banjo strums, a pair of cowboy boots worn onstage, a bedazzled guitar—but there's something in her winsome, vulnerable delivery that's unique to Nashville."[271] The Guardian wrote that Swift "cranks melodies out with the pitiless efficiency of a Scandinavian pop factory."[272]

Swift's singing voice was described by Sophie Schillaci of The Hollywood Reporter as "sweet, but soft".[273] The Los Angeles Times identified Swift's "defining" vocal gesture in studio recordings as "the line that slides down like a contented sigh or up like a raised eyebrow, giving her beloved girl-time hits their air of easy intimacy".[274] Rolling Stone, in a Speak Now review, wrote: "Swift's voice is unaffected enough to mask how masterful she has become as a singer; she lowers her voice for the payoff lines in the classic mode of a shy girl trying to talk tough."[275] In another review of Speak Now, The Village Voice wrote that her phrasing was previously "bland and muddled, but that's changed. She can still sound strained and thin, and often strays into a pitch that drives some people crazy; but she's learned how to make words sound like what they mean."[276] NPR Music described her singing as personal and conversational thanks to her "exceptional gift for inflection", but also suffers from a "wobbly pitch and tight, nasal delivery".[277] The Hollywood Reporter wrote that her live vocals are "fine", but they do not match those of her peers.[273] Swift has been praised for refusing to correct her pitch with Auto-Tune.[278]

In an interview with The New Yorker, Swift characterized herself primarily as a songwriter: "I write songs, and my voice is just a way to get those lyrics across."[10] A writer for The Tennessean conceded in 2010 that Swift is "not the best technical singer", but described her as the "best communicator that we've got".[279] Swift's vocal presence is something that concerns her and she has "put a lot of work" into improving it.[280] It was reported in 2010 that she continues to take vocal lessons.[281] She has said that she only feels nervous performing "if I'm not sure what the audience thinks of me, like at award shows".[282]

Songwriting

Swift uses her life experiences as an inspiration in her work.[283] She often addresses the "anonymous crushes of her high school years" and celebrities in her early songs.[284] Swift frequently criticizes ex-boyfriends,[285] an aspect of her songwriting downplayed by The Village Voice: "Being told What Songs Mean is like having a really pushy professor. And it imperils a true appreciation of Swift's talent, which is not confessional, but dramatic."[286] However, New York believes the media scrutiny over her decision to "mine her personal life for music ... is sexist, inasmuch as it's not asked of her male peers".[287] Swift said that not all of her songs are factual, and they are sometimes based on observations[288] or fictional narratives.[289] Aside from clues provided in her liner notes, Swift tries not to talk about song subjects specifically "because these are real people. You try to give insight as to where you were coming from as a writer without completely throwing somebody under the bus."[290]

For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that's taking something that potentially should be celebrated—a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way—that's taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist.

— Swift in response to criticism of her songwriting[291]

The Guardian has praised Swift for writing about teenage years "with a kind of wistful, sepia-toned nostalgia" over the course of her first two albums.[272] New York has remarked that many singer-songwriters have made great records as teens, but "none made great records so explicitly about their teens". The magazine has also compared her work to Brian Wilson.[292] In Fearless, Swift featured fairy tale imagery and explored the disconnect "between fairy tales and the reality of love".[293] Her later albums address more adult relationships.[242] In addition to romance and love, Swift's songs have discussed parent-child relationships, friendships,[294][295] alienation, fame, and career ambitions.[231] Swift frequently includes "a tossed-off phrase to suggest large and serious things that won't fit in the song, things that enhance or subvert the surface narrative".[296]

Rolling Stone describes Swift as "a songwriting savant with an intuitive gift for verse-chorus-bridge architecture".[297] According to The Village Voice, she often uses third-verse point of view reversals.[296] In terms of imagery, repetition is evident in Swift's songwriting. In The Guardian's words, "she spends so much time kissin' in the rain that it seems a miracle she hasn't developed trenchfoot".[272] Slant Magazine adds, "to Swift's credit, she explores new lyrical motifs over the course of [her fourth] album".[298] Although reviews of Swift's work are "almost uniformly positive", The New Yorker has said she is generally portrayed "more as a skilled technician than as a Dylanesque visionary".[10]

Music videos

Swift has collaborated with many different directors to produce her music videos, and over time she has become more involved with writing and directing. She has her own production house, Taylor Swift Productions, Inc., which is credited with producing music videos for singles such as "Me!",[299] and is known for hiding elaborate clues and easter eggs in most of her work.[300] In 2010, Swift co-directed the music video for "Mine" with Roman White.[301] In 2011, she continued to collaborate with White on the music videos for "Mean" and "Ours". Swift developed the concept and treatment for "Mean".[302] In an interview, White elaborated that Swift "was keenly involved in writing the treatment, casting and wardrobe. And she stayed for both the 15-hour shooting days, even when she wasn't in the scenes."[303] Swift wrote the concept for the "Ours" music video and then brought in White to direct, describing her vision of both videos as being "storylines".[304][305]

From 2014 to 2018, Swift collaborated with director Joseph Kahn on eight music videos—four each from her albums 1989 and Reputation. Kahn has praised Swift's involvement in the craft.[306] In 2016, Swift worked with American Express for her "Blank Space" music video (which Kahn directed), and released the interactive app AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience. Swift received starring and executive producer credit, and in 2015 won a Primetime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Interactive Program category for the app.[307] She received producing credit in her music video for "Bad Blood".[308]

In 2018, Swift developed the concept, wrote the treatment for, and starred in the music video for the Sugarland song "Babe".[309] In 2019, she co-directed the music videos for "Me!" with Dave Meyers, "You Need to Calm Down" with Drew Kirsch and "Lover" with Kirsch.[310][311] She also co-executive produced the second of them with Todrick Hall.[312] The music video for Swift's 2020 single "The Man" marked her official solo directorial debut.[313] Later that year, she wrote, directed, and styled the music video for "Cardigan" on her own during the COVID-19 pandemic.[314]

Public image

Swift's personal life is the subject of widespread media attention.[315] In 2013, Abercrombie & Fitch marketed a slogan T-shirt with a "slut-shaming" remark directed toward her.[316] The New York Times asserted in 2013 that her "dating history has begun to stir what feels like the beginning of a backlash". They questioned whether Swift was in the midst of a "quarter-life crisis".[317] Swift has said she is unwilling to discuss her personal life in public;[315] she believes that talking about it can be "a career weakness".[318] In 2015, singer Ray Stevens released his album Here We Go Again which included the single "Taylor Swift is Stalking Me".[319] In 2020, Swift revealed she struggled with an eating disorder in the past.[320]

Rolling Stone remarks upon her polite manner: "If this is Swift's game face, it must be tattooed on because it never drops",[31] and noted her "ease with glad-handing".[39] The Hollywood Reporter described Swift as "the Best People Person since Bill Clinton".[321] While presenting Swift with an award for her humanitarian endeavors in 2012, Michelle Obama described her as an artist who "has rocketed to the top of the music industry but still keeps her feet on the ground, someone who has shattered every expectation of what a 22-year-old can accomplish".[322] Swift considers Obama to be a role model.[323] According to The New York Times and marketing executive Matt B. Britton, Swift's business savvy has helped her "excel as an authentic personality who establishes direct connections with her audience", "touch as many people as possible", and "generate a kind of advocacy and excitement that no level of advertising could".[324]

Swift is one of the most-followed people on social media;[325] as of August 2020, she has over 139 million followers on Instagram,[326] 86.5 million followers on Twitter[327] and 39 million subscribers on YouTube.[328] She is known for her friendly online interactions with her fans.[329] She has delivered holiday gifts to fans by mail and in person, an event dubbed "Swiftmas",[330] and considers it her "responsibility" to be conscious of her influence on young fans.[331] She has called her fans "the longest and best relationship" she has ever had.[332] Often labeled by the media as "America's Sweetheart"[333][334] due to her down to earth personality[335][336] and girl-next-door image,[337][338] Swift insists she does not "live by all these rigid, weird rules that make me feel all fenced in. I just like the way that I feel like, and that makes me feel very free".[339] She refuses to take part in overly-sexualized photo shoots,[340] although Bloomberg L.P. views her as a sex symbol.[341] She has also been recognized as a style icon in fashion;[342][343] Vogue named her an Icon of American Style in 2011.[344] In 2014, she topped People's annual best-dressed list.[345] In 2015, she was named Woman of the Year at the Elle Style Awards[346] and ranked first on Maxim's Hot 100 list.[347]

Impact

With her early success as a country singer-songwriter, Swift played an important role in shaping the modern country music scene. Billboard wrote that country music became more favorably viewed since Swift's debut in 2006 thanks to her unconventional approach to the genre: she utilized online platforms to promote her music to younger generations, paving the way for a handful of future country crossover artists.[348] Billboard also reported that following Swift's rise to fame, labels have become more interested in signing young country singers and artists who write their own music.[349]

Her transition in image from a country singer-songwriter to a pop star has impacted the music industry in various ways. According to the BBC, Swift became a pioneer in experimenting with different musical styles that transcend boundaries.[350] Forbes described Swift as one of the few pop singers of her time that could sell out stadium tours.[351] Rolling Stone noted that Swift's narrative songwriting, which centers around her personal life and offers a sense of authenticity, "helped opened up a space" for many female artists to "seem so effortlessly themselves" in their music in an era of tabloids.[352]

Swift's opposition to free, low-royalty streaming services has fostered debate over reforms to on-demand music streaming, prompting awareness of intellectual property rights among younger musicians.[353][354][355] She is among the few artists who could sell over a million albums in the digital era dominated by streaming, and is currently the only to have three albums sell over a million copies within one week since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991.[355] In 2019, Swift was named Woman of the Decade of the 2010s by Billboard[356] and became the first woman to earn the title Artist of the Decade (2010s) at the American Music Awards.[357] Swift and her work have influenced various contemporary recording artists, including Kelsea Ballerini,[358] Ruth B.,[359] Camila Cabello,[360] The Chainsmokers,[361] Selena Gomez,[362] Ellie Goulding,[363] Conan Gray,[364] Halsey,[365] Niall Horan,[366] Shawn Mendes,[367] Maren Morris,[368] Nina Nesbitt,[369] Finneas O'Connell,[370] Olivia Rodrigo,[371] Tegan and Sara,[372] Troye Sivan,[373] and The Vamps.[374]
