Aside from having a lot of boyfriend troubles, the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is undeniably one of the music industry’s royalties. As a matter of fact, her narrative songs about her heartbreaks have earned her numerous accolades, and she became the highest-paid celebrity in 2016 and 1019, according to Forbes Celebrity 100.
Country Music’s Sweatheart
On August 23, 2019, Swift is expected to release her seventh studio album entitled Lover under Republic Records. Even before the official release, the album has already set world records for being the most pre-ordered album by a female artist, and most pre-added pop album both in its first day on Apple Music across the globe.
Music Career and Accolades
With her parents’ full support, Swift pursued a career in country music when she was 14 years old. She then released her self-titled album with the help of Scott Borchetta and the rest of the Big Machine Records team on October 24, 2006. Her songs Tim McGraw, Teardrops on My Guitar, Picture to Burn, and Should’ve Said No, were all triumphant on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs.
Swift became the youngest artist to solely compose and perform a number-one song on the Hot Country Songs with the albums third single, Our Song. Followed by the success of Taylor Swift, the singer launched another studio album called Fearless under the same label.
And just like her first, the album gained tremendous success with the singles Love Story, White Horse, You Belong with Me, Fifteen, and Fearless dominating the charts in the US and Australia.
Taylor Swift Sweeping Grammy Awards
Following the success of her album, Swift began touring, and her Fearless Tour fearlessly amassed $63 million in revenue. She also took home four Grammy Awards including the record-breaking Album of the Year title making her the youngest musician to receive the award.
Her third and fourth album didn’t disappoint as well. The singer snatched two more Grammys for the single Mean under the Speak Now album. Swift’s 1989 album earned her second Album of the Year Grammy Award. In 2017, she presented her most-controversial album Reputation which topped the charts in the US and UK.
Fans Interactions and Good Deeds
Taylor Swift has the most dedicated fans ever. A huge part of her success is because of the undying support of the Swifties. In return, the singer always finds time to interact with them on social media, and she even hosted an intimate jamming session with some of her fans in her home in Rhode Island.
With a personal net worth of approximately $360 million, a $40-million private jet, and eight multi-million real estate properties, Swift never forgets to give back. She recently donated $113,000 to an LGBT advocacy group in Tennessee and extended a helping hand to her friends like Kesha who has faced multiple legal battles in the past.
