Born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift was earning renown as a country music singer by the age of 16. Early hits like “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me” appealed to country and pop fans alike and helped fuel the multi-platinum success of her albums, including the Grammy-winning Fearless (2008). Now a pop megastar with 14 Grammys, she is the first artist to win Album of the Year four times. The “Shake It Off” and “Anti-Hero” singer released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, in April 2024 and concluded her record-breaking Eras Tour in December.
