Signature

Swift signed to Big Machine Records in


2005, debuting as a country singer with the
albums Taylor Swift (2006) and Fearless
(2008). The singles "Teardrops on My
Guitar", "Love Story", and "You Belong with
Me" found crossover success on country and
pop radio formats. She incorporated rock on
Speak Now (2010) and electronic on Red
(2012), later re-calibrating her image from
country to pop with the synth-pop set 1989
(2014); the ensuing media scrutiny inspired
the hip-hop-imbued Reputation (2017). The
albums contained the Billboard Hot 100
number-one singles "We Are Never Ever
Getting Back Together", "Shake It Off",
"Blank Space", "Bad Blood", and "Look What
You Made Me Do".

Shifting to Republic Records in 2018, Swift


released the electropop album Lover (2019)
and explored indie folk styles in the 2020
albums Folklore and Evermore. She
experimented with subdued pop genres on
Midnights (2022) and The Tortured Poets
Department (2024), and began re-recording
her Big Machine albums as Taylor's
Version[a] due to an ownership dispute with
the label. Through the 2020s, she garnered
the US number-one songs "Cardigan",
"Willow", "All Too Well", "Anti-Hero", "Cruel
Summer", "Is It Over Now?", and "Fortnight".
She has embarked on six concert tours,
including the Eras Tour (2023–2024), the
highest-grossing tour of all time. Her films
include Miss Americana (2020), All Too Well:
The Short Film (2021), and The Eras Tour
(2023)—the highest-grossing concert film.

Swift has received extensive media coverage


and has a global fanbase known as Swifties.
Swift has been listed amongst history's
greatest artists by publications such as
Rolling Stone and Billboard, as well as the
only individual from the arts to have been
named the Time Person of the Year (2023).
Her accolades include 14 Grammy Awards
(including a record four Album of the Year
wins), a Primetime Emmy Award, and a
record five IFPI Global Recording Artist of the
Year awards. Swift is the most-awarded
artist of the American Music Awards (40),
the Billboard Music Awards (49), and the
MTV Video Music Awards (30).
