She signed with the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's eponymous debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008. Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless became the best-selling album of 2009 and was supported by an extensive concert tour. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Swift's third album, 2010's Speak Now, sold over one million copies in its first week of US release and was supported by the Speak Now World Tour. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards. Swift's fourth album, Red, was released in 2012. Its opening US sales of 1.2 million were the highest recorded in a decade, with Swift becoming the only female artist to have two million-plus opening weeks. The singles "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" were worldwide hits. The Red Tour is visiting worldwide venues in 2013 and 2014. Swift is known for her narrative songs about her experiences as a teenager and young adult. As a songwriter, she has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Swift's other achievements include seven Grammy Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, eleven American Music Awards, eleven Country Music Association Awards and six Academy of Country Music Awards. She has sold over 26 million albums and 75 million digital single downloads worldwide. Forbes estimates that she is worth over $220 million. In addition to her music career, Swift has appeared as an actress in the ensemble comedy Valentine's Day (2010) and the animated film The Lorax (2012).

November 9, 201411 yr 'Outside' growing on me already - quite surprised it managed to debut as high as #6, looks like another big hit for Calvin. Shame the album couldn't get to #1 but '18 Months' went back to #1 in January 2013 so maybe there's still hope for it? Ugh at 'All Of Me' holding onto the top 4 :\
November 9, 201411 yr So sick of 'Shake It Off' now, they played it THREE times at a firework display yesterday (Along with the usual lolfests of 'Firework', 'Firestarter', 'Relight My Fire'...)
November 9, 201411 yr Outside easily the best Calvin track since Feel So Close. It may be his name on it, but Ellie is doing all the singing! :wub:
November 9, 201411 yr The success for 'Shake It Off' is SO baffling, most annoying video ever also imo.

November 9, 201411 yr Lord...I really can't imagine how enough people hadn't heard this prior to X Factor to warrant a climb back to the top five. AGOG.
