Taylor Swift

                                                         Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is known as a pop, pop rock, country, and country pop artist. She signed to Big Machine Records at the age of 14 when her family moved to Nashville. Her big break as a country singer was in 2006 when she came out with her first single "Tim McGraw". In 2009 she won from the MTV music awards best female video of the year.  Kanye West got on stage during her speech, took the microphone, and said that Beyonce should have won and Taylor didn't deserve the award.  She has written every song that she has which is a reason that she deserves the award. Most artists have professionals to write their songs for them, but Taylor writes her own.  She started more as a country artist, but now is going into more of the pop genre of music.

Why is Taylor Swift one of the best artists? She has written every song on all four of her albums. She is the only singer I know that writes all of their own songs and I think that makes her unique. Taylor’s swift’s songs are very relatable to teenage girls. Like her song “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, she saying why she would never get back with an Ex that has done her wrong. Just about any song of hers has to do with being in love, or falling out of love.

Taylor Swift is the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV music publishing house. She has been honored by the Nashville song writers association and the songwriter’s hall of fame. She has been nominated for 3 Grammy awards this year, and has won 6 so far in her career. She has received eleven American Music Awards, seven Country Music Association Awards, six Academy of Country Music Awards, and thirteen BMI awards. She is also a philanthropist; she supports LGBT rights, natural disaster relief, children’s literacy, and charities for sick children, and art education.
