Taylor Swift Caught "OOPS" MOMENT
Precocious artist, child prodigy: she undoubtedly is. Born on December 13, 1989 in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, her father is a stockbroker and her mother, a stay-at-home mom. Fascinated by country music at an age when young girls are rather rock or r'n'b, she began to write her first songs at the age of 10 and did not hesitate, a year later, to knock on all the doors of Nashville record labels to distribute his demos.
She was not taken seriously at first, but the perseverance of the one who learned the guitar on her own at the age of 12 from three chords that she was taught ended up paying off: the young company Big Machine Records decides to trust him and produce his first single and real hit "Tim McGraw" - it would be inspired by his breakup with his boyfriend at the time - followed a few months later by his first album, Taylor Swift, released October 24, 2006. From the first week, the pretty blonde is a hit. It must be said that his music, a classic pop with specifically country instrumental contributions, is far from cowboy songs.
Taylor Swift is certified four times platinum, with more than 3 million albums sold. The next four singles peaked at the top of the charts, in the Billboard Hot Country Songs top 10. Taylor Swift released her second album, Fearless, in November 2008, which immediately established itself on the highest step of sales in North America (Canada also having a soft spot for her). The first single from the album, Love Story, number 4 in the United States but also number 2 in Great Britain, is the most downloaded song in the history of music. The album won the singer 5 trophies at the American Music Awards (she even won the King of Pop, Michael Jackson himself, the trophy for Best Artist of the Year) 4 Grammy Awards, including Best Album the Year. The singer began her first world tour in April 2009 and the same year made an appearance alongside her friend Miley Cyrus in Hannah Montana, the movie. Speak Now, his third album, was released in October 2010. A dazzling success, it sold just under 1 million copies in the first week in the United States, earning the artist an entry into the Guinness Book of records 2012 for consecutively hoisting 14 tracks from the album on the Billboard 200. His tour, the Speak Now World Tour, was ranked the second-best world tour.
But above all, the American singer, with more than 35 million dollars pocketed in 2011, was named by Billboard magazine as the star who earned the most money in 2011. She is thus ahead of two giants of music, U2 and country singer Kenny Chesney. In February 2010, she made her film debut in the comedy Valentine's Day, in the role of Felicia.
On March 14, 2021, Taylor Swift won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for Folklore.
On the heart side, Taylor Swift had a story with Joe Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers group, who would have left her by phone, which would have inspired the singer to her title Fearless: Forever and Always. But her most serious and most publicized relationship remains to this day the one she had with Taylor Lautner, Twilight werewolf met on the set of Valentine's Day before separating three months later, at the end of 2009. In June 2015, the singer confirms her romance with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris through her Instagram account. But, in May 2016, the couple separated. Surprise! In June 2016, she appeared on the arm of actor Tom Hiddleston. But in September 2016, the couple announced their separation.
