Sep 5, 2017
Taylor Swift is making major noise with the release of her new single, “Look What You Made Me Do” via Big Machine. It’s been two years since Swift has released new music. Fans are going wild and it shows in her 5.3 million streams and 30,000 downloads in its first week.
Swift began her music career at the age of 14 and was the youngest songwriter ever signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's eponymous debut album in 2006 marked the start of her career as a country music singer. Her third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Hot Country Songs chart. Swift went on to release her second album, "Fearless" in 2008, followed by her third and fourth albums, 2010's "Speak Now" and 2012's "Red". They both sold more than one million copies within the first week of their U.S release.
Taylor has won ten Grammy Awards, one Emmy Award, 22 Billboard Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, eight Academy of Country Music Awards, and one Brit Award. She is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold more than 40 million albums-including 27.1 million in the U.S.-and 130 million single downloads.
