Bio:
Widely hailed as the first bonafide country music star of the MySpace generation 20-year-old Taylor Swift currently has singles climbing both the country and pop radio charts. In 2009, Billboard Magazine named Swift Artist of the Year and the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, and the American Music Awards all named her sophomore album Fearless the 2009 country album of the year, making her the youngest artist ever to earn these awards. Swift wrote or co-wrote every song on the album, which also earned the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2010.

Songwriting is a craft Swift has been honing since first strummed a guitar at the age of 12. At the age of 17, Swift became the youngest person to single-handedly write and sing a number-one country single entirely on her own ("Our Song" spent 6 consecutive weeks at No.1 atop Billboard's Country Singles Chart), and she is the first female solo artist in country music history to write or co-write every song on a platinum-selling debut CD. At 14, she signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music, and in 2006 released her self-titled debut CD on Big Machine Records.

Earlier this year, Swift appeared in her first feature film Felicia in Valentine's Day, which featured a soundtrack with two Swift songs: "Today Was A Fairytale" and "Jump Then Fall." Swift was also named in People's annual "100 Most Beautiful People" in 2008, 2009, and 2010 and one of the magazine's 25 Most Intriguing People in 2009. She received a nod on TIME's "2009 The Time 100 Finalist" list, which is determined by online votes.

Taylor just finished her Fearless tour, hitting 40 cities internationally and working on a third album scheduled to release late this year.
