Taylor Swift is an iconic singer-songwriter who's celebrated for brilliant songwriting, artistic reinventions, and global cultural impact.
She has released critically acclaimed albums such as 'Fearless', '1989', 'Reputation', 'Folklore', and 'Midnights'.
Her latest album, 'The Tortured Poets Department' - produced by Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Aaron Dessner -, was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 67th Grammy Awards. Swift has already earned 14 Grammys and is one of the world's best-selling music artists, with a record seven albums suring one million first-week sales.
A teenager Taylor showed why she's a superstar
Taylor Nation, an extension of Taylor Swift's PR/Marketing team, posted a video of old footage of the global music superstar as a child and a teenager with her song 'Robin', which is part of the album 'The Tortured Poets Department'.
"You have no room in your dreams for regrets, you have no idea, the time will arrive for the cruel and the mean, you'll learn to bounce back just like your trampoline, but now we'll curtail your curiosity, in sweetness." are the words of the song that we can see in the video.
The images show a young Taylor having fun and enjoying performing for the audiences, as well as her natural born talent and her ion for artistic performance. By the time she released her first album, "Taylor Swift" - October 24, 2006 -, she was a 16-year-old country singer ready to take over the music world.
Taylor Swift is an icon for women
Taylor Swift has enjoyed successes that few artists in the music industry can touch or even dream of. She was the first woman to win the Grammy for Album of the Year three times. Nevertheless, she has often been the target of sexism in her career.
She was heavily critiqued for writing about her feelings and relationships, while male musicians who do the same thing were rarely challenged. In her early 20s, Swift said she was "slut shamed" for having a few relationships; others romantically linked Swift to people whom she'd only sat next to at a party.
The global music superstar has fought back through words, actions and art, and received praise for her efforts from feminist icon Dolly Parton. She has also written open letters for other artists who are experiencing injustice - including publicly demanding that Apple Music pay the artists during the trial period of the platform.
