Taylor Swift is a singer and songwriter who has had singles top both the Country and Pop radio charts, and sold more albums in 2008 than any other recording artist, in any genre of music.

Taylor Swift's "Fearless" album has spent more weeks in the #1 position atop Billboard's all-genre Top 200 sales chart than any other release this year and is now certified triple platinum. Taylor Swift's career record sales now top 7 million and she currently holds the "Billboard" all-genre record for most Top 20 debuts in a calendar year. Taylor Swift is the first artist to have two different albums in the Top 10 on the year-end album chart and the first country artist to top the 2 million mark in paid downloads with three different songs. Taylor Swift's hit single "Love Story" recently became the most downloaded song in country music history and she has three Gold Mobile Ringtones and 14 million downloads thus far.

At the age of 14 Taylor Swift became the youngest person ever to be signed as a professional staff songwriter at Sony/ATV Music Publishing, and she released her debut CD when she was 16. Since then, Taylor Swift has received numerous awards, the most recent being 2009's "Album of the Year" for "Fearless" by the Academy of Country Music (Taylor was honored as both the artist and producer). In 2009, Taylor Swift was also awarded the Academy of Country Music's "Crystal Milestone Award" for Outstanding Achievement in Country Music. In 2008, Taylor Swift became the first musician in history to earn the Young Hollywood Award for "Superstar of Tomorrow," and won an American Music Award, a Teen Choice Award, two CMT Music Awards (including the top honor of Video of the Year), and an Academy of Country Music Award.

Taylor Swift has been featured on the covers of many leading publications, including Rolling Stone (twice), Billboard (twice), Allure, Blender, USA Weekend, Seventeen (twice), Redbook, Self, Us Weekly, and Teen Vogue.
