Taylor Swift Biography, Age, Height, Parents, Boyfriend, Movies, Net Worth & Wiki

Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer and songwriter. Her discography spans multiple genres, and her narrative songwriting has been critically acclaimed and widely covered by the media. At the age of 14, Swift moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a country artist. In 2004, she signed a songwriting and recording contract with Sony/ATV Music Publishing. With her self-titled debut album released in 2006, she became the first female country singer to write or co-write an entirely platinum-certified album in the United States. Swift’s next two albums, Fearless (2008) and Speak Now (2010), explore country pop.

The former’s songs “Love Story” and “You Belong with Me” topped the US pop and all-genre airplay charts, respectively. Her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one song, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, featured her experimentation with rock and electronic styles on Red (2012) and 1989 (2014), which featured the chart-topping hits “Shake It Off”, “Blank Space” and “Bad Blood”, eschewed her country image in favor of synth-pop. The urban-flavored Reputation (2017) and its number-one single “Look What You Made Me Do” were inspired by media scrutiny.

Following Swift’s exit from Big Machine in 2018, she signed with Republic Records and released her seventh studio album, Lover, in 2019. In 2020, she will release the autobiographical documentary, Miss Americana. The singles “Cardigan” and “Willow” from her 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore reached the top of the Hot 100. After a dispute over the masters of her first six albums, Swift re-recorded two of them, Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version). It was the latter’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” that became the longest song to top the Hot 100. Several streaming records were broken with her tenth album Midnights (2022) and its lead single Anti-Hero. In addition to directing her own music videos and films, Swift has played supporting roles in other films, such as All Too Well: The Short Film (2021).

Swift has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, making her one of the most successful musicians of all time. She is the only act to have had five albums open with over one million copies sold in the United States. She has won 11 Grammys, including three Album of the Year awards; an Emmy Award; 40 American Music Awards; 29 Billboard Music Awards; and 84 Guinness World Records. In addition to being ranked among Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time, Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Artists, Time 100, and Forbes Celebrity 100, Swift has been named among Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. As an advocate for artists’ rights and women’s empowerment, Swift has received awards such as Artist of the Decade and Woman of the Decade. Several generations of singer-songwriters have been influenced by her music.

Taylor Swift Childhood Life And Education

The birth of Taylor Alison Swift took place at the Reading Hospital in West Reading, Pennsylvania.

Taylor Swift Father, Mother, And Brother

Scott Kingsley Swift, Taylor Swift’s father, is a former Merrill Lynch stockbroker, and Andrea Gardner Swift (née Finlay), Taylor Swift’s mother, is a former homemaker and mutual fund marketing executive.

She has a younger brother, Austin, who is an actor. Her name is derived from the singer-songwriter James Taylor, and she is of Scottish and German descent. Marjorie Finlay, her maternal grandmother, was an opera singer. It was on a Christmas tree farm that her father had purchased from one of his clients that Swift spent her early years.

As a Christian, Swift identifies himself.

Taylor Swift Education

She attended Alvernia Montessori School, run by the Bernadine Franciscan sisters, for preschool and kindergarten before transferring to The Wyndcroft School. She attended Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School in the suburban town of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, where her family rented a house.

Swift became interested in musical theater at the age of nine and appeared in four productions of the Berks Youth Theatre Academy. In addition, she regularly traveled to New York City for vocal and acting lessons. She later turned her attention to country music, influenced by Shania Twain’s songs, which inspired her to run around the block four times and daydream about everything.

How Did She Enter In The Field Of Music?

During the weekends, she performed at local festivals and events. Swift decided to pursue a career in music after watching a documentary about Faith Hill.

At the age of eleven, she visited Nashville record labels with her mother and submitted demo tapes of karaoke covers of Dolly Parton and The Chicks. However, she was rejected due to the fact that “everyone in that town wanted to do what I wanted to do. Therefore, I kept thinking to myself, I must figure out a way to be different.”

Ronnie Cremer, a computer repairman, and local musician taught Swift to play the guitar when she was around 12 years old. As a result of his assistance, she was able to write “Lucky You” during her first efforts as a songwriter. Dan Dymtrow, a New York-based talent manager, began working with Swift and her parents in 2003.

His assistance enabled Swift to participate in Abercrombie & Fitch’s “Rising Stars” campaign, have an original song included on a Maybelline compilation CD, and meet with major record labels. Swift, then 13 years old, was given an artist development deal by RCA Records after performing at a showcase. She began traveling to Nashville frequently with her mother.

When Swift was 14 years old, her father transferred to Merrill Lynch’s Nashville office, and the family relocated to Hendersonville, Tennessee. After two years of attending Hendersonville High School, Swift moved to Aaron Academy to accommodate her touring schedule. One year earlier than expected, she graduated.

Factors That Really Influence Her Towards Music

Listening to her grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, sing in church is one of Swift’s earliest memories of music. As a child, she enjoyed listening to Disney movie soundtracks: “My parents noticed that I would make up words once I ran out of words.”

Swift attributes her confidence to her mother, who helped her prepare for class presentations as a child. Her mother is also responsible for her “fascination with writing and storytelling.”. After listening to Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and the Dixie Chicks during the 1990s, Swift became fascinated with country music’s storytelling component.

As a songwriter and performer, Twain was her greatest musical influence. Swift often imitated Hill as a child, and she was her role model as a child. Her admiration for the Dixie Chicks was based on their defiant attitude and ability to play their own instruments. Swift learned how to play the guitar for the first time by listening to the song “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer.

She has also studied the music of older country stars such as Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton, the last of whom she believes is a role model for female songwriters, as well as alt-country artists such as Patty Griffin and Lori McKenna.

Joni Mitchell influenced Swift as a songwriter, citing Mitchell’s autobiographical lyrics that convey the deepest emotions; “Blue is my favorite because it explores someone’s soul so deeply.”

Various pop and rock artists have also influenced Swift. In terms of her career role models, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, the Rolling Stones, Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, and Carly Simon are among the most notable.

Both as a member of the Beatles and as a soloist, McCartney makes Swift feel “as if I’ve been able to get into his mind and heart. He is out there making his fans happy every day.” Springsteen and the Stones have remained musically relevant for a long time, and she credits them with having influenced her entire approach to her career.

Swift aspires to be like Harris, who prioritizes music over fame as she grows older. Simon was praised for being both emotional and strong at the same time. Kristofferson “shines in songwriting”, according to her.

Several 1980s pop acts, including Peter Gabriel, Annie Lennox, Phil Collins, and Madonna, influenced her synth-pop album 1989. Keith Urban’s musical style and Fall Out Boy’s lyrics have also been cited as major influences.

Taylor Swift Relationships/ Boyfriends And Rumored Husband

Taylor Swift has successfully dated a slew of Hollywood heartthrobs while we belt out her eerily-similar breakup songs to get over the average Joes we’ve dated.

With a penchant for memorializing fallen relationships in lyrical form, the ‘Reputation’ singer has been linked to musicians and movie stars alike. The lucky guys who have dated Taylor since her debut album Fearless, from Jake Gyllenhaal to John Mayer.

In order, here are Taylor’s dated men and romance-themed songs.

Joe Jonas (2008)

Between July 2008 and October 2008, Taylor dated the former Jonas Brother and DNCE frontman. This was Taylor’s first public breakup, and possibly the most brutal because Joe broke up over a 27-second phone call.

She appears to have written “Last Kiss” and “Forever and Always” about her breakup with Jonas, while “Holy Ground” was written later, more positively.

Lucas Till (2009)

After Lucas Till played Taylor’s next-door neighbor in her “You Belong With Me” music video, Taylor and Lucas Till dated for only a few months in 2009. Lucas later spoke out about the two’s brief relationship, stating that they were better as friends.

“We dated for a short while, but there wasn’t any friction,” he told the media. Most relationships work out because you get along and then you don’t, and then you have good makeup, and with us, I really just liked her as a friend. That’s the only reason that didn’t work out.”

Taylor Lautner (2009)

Who can forget the Taylor/Taylor romance of 2009? As high school sweethearts in the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, they met each other.

As Taylor sings in “Back To December”, “Your tanned skin, your sweet smile” is about her ex-Lautner, and the night she dumped him.

John Mayer (2009)

In a 2012 interview with the media, Mayer said, “I felt terrible because I had not earned it.”. “I have become very adept at taking responsibility now, and I never did anything to deserve it.”

I think it was an awful thing for her to do.” Afterward, Mayer responded musically with his song “Paper Dolls” from his 2013 album Paradise Valley. Do you think I was too young to be messed with?” Mayer asked. He sings, “the girl in the dress cried the whole way home.”.

Cory Monteith (2010)

Despite the fact that Taylor and the Glee star never confirmed their relationship, they were often photographed together.

When Taylor was asked if the two had dated on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she clearly blushed. Taylor tweeted: “Speechless. And for the worst reason.” on the day of Cory’s tragic death in July 2013.

Jake Gyllenhaal (2010-2011)

As one of Taylor’s most public relationships, the couple was frequently seen out and about in New York City and Los Angeles. Jake reportedly called it quits due to the couple’s 10-year age gap. “Put my name at the top of your list” is the lyrics to “The Last Time.”

Gyllenhaal is also featured in “All Too Well”, which documents the scarf incident. Several details specific to their relationship are referenced in this song, including a trip to upstate New York and Thanksgiving dinner with Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Swift makes this fascinating claim in the first verse: “Left my scarf there at your sister’s house. You keep my old scarf from that first week because it reminds you of innocence and smells like me, and you mail back my things and I walk home alone.” Taylor fans have been amused and confused by Gyllenhaal wearing her scarf in years past.

Adam Young (2011)

Despite some emails and a face-to-face meeting, Owl City’s Adam Young never dated Taylor. The song “Enchanted” was written about Young by Taylor after she met him.

All I can say is that it was enchanting to meet you. On Valentine’s Day, Young released a cover version of Taylor’s song “Enchanted.”

Chord Overstreet (2011)

Despite the fact that Taylor and Chord only went on one date.

There are pictures from the event, so it is only natural that he is included.

Eddie Redmayne (2011-2012)

Taylor and Eddie are rumored to have begun dating when she auditioned for the role of Eponine in Les Miserables. During auditions in New York, they were frequently seen together.

Eddie’s captivating green eyes and freckles failed to make enough of an impression to merit a tribute song.

Zac Efron (2012)

Zac was once Disney’s High School Musical teen stud, and he had been making our hearts skip for years prior to his encounter with Tay. While promoting their film The Lorax, the two reportedly began dating. The two have, however, denied any relationship between them.

During The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the pair even wrote a parody of Foster the People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” to reject the dating rumors. However, we can still dream.

Conor Kennedy (2012)

During the summer of 2012, Taylor dated Conor Kennedy, the grandson of Robert F. Kennedy. As she was 22 years old and Conor was 18 years old, she received some criticism for their age difference. During the romance, Taylor even purchased a home near the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

When Taylor’s family accused him of disrupting the wedding of Conor’s cousin Kyle in August, things between Taylor and Conor began to look bleak. Despite her representatives’ denials, it appeared that the damage had already been done.

As a result of its lyric, “Begin Again” has been linked to Conor, particularly the line “I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny because he never did.”

Harry Styles (2012-2013)

Taylor’s most divisive relationship to date. Despite only dating for a month, the couple shared paper airplane necklaces, strolled through Central Park, kissed in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, and even got into a snowmobile accident.

“I Knew You Were Trouble” is a song about the One Direction heartthrob. In addition, Taylor’s 1989 album is filled with subtle references to Harry, particularly “Out Of The Woods” with its references to their December romance and the accident, as well as “Style,” which is self-explanatory.

Calvin Harris (2015-2016)

There was a fairly long relationship between Taylor and Harris, which was her most well-documented. On a regular basis, the couple appeared on red carpets together and posted pictures to their social media accounts. According to multiple reports, Calvin wanted to end the relationship.

While neither Taylor nor Calvin has commented on it, it was assumed that Taylor’s hit song, “We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together,” was about Calvin. However, many Swift fans remain confident that this is a reference to Gyllenhaal.

Tom Hiddleston (2016)

A love story between Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift, better known as Hiddleswift, shocked the world. Having met in New York, the couple took their romance on the road (including Rhode Island, Italy, Australia, and England).

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. The couple called it quits just two months after Hiddleston wore an ‘I Heart T.S.’ t-shirt.

Joe Alwyn (2017-Now)

In 2022, Taylor and her current boyfriend Alwyn have been together for more than five years. There has been a good deal of mystery surrounding the couple’s relationship. In 2017, Taylor and Joe were pictured enjoying a cup of coffee on a balcony in Nashville.

In one of her songs, “Ready for It?” fans are divided as to whether it is about Joe or Harry Styles, her former love interest. However, according to Buzzfeed, Taylor reportedly liked a Tumblr post that explained the lyrics, which indicated that they were about Joe. There is no doubt that Taylor’s song ‘Gorgeous’ is about Joe, with lyrics that read: “You make me so happy, but it turns back to sadness.”

As well, fans picked up on a song from Reputation, titled Dress, which appeared to refer to the first time she met Alwyn with lyrics describing two lovers meeting while one’s hair was being bleached. Swift bleached her hair blonde for the 2016 Met Gala, and it has been rumored that the pair crossed paths that evening.

Her album Lover, released in 2019, alluded to engagement (and even marriage) rumors, but neither party has confirmed or denied the allegations.

Alwyn actually addressed the rumors in early 2022 by providing the media with an answer that provided exactly no information: “If I had a pound for every time I’ve been told I’m engaged, then I would have a lot of pound coins.” “I mean, the truth is, I wouldn’t say if the answer was yes, and I wouldn’t say if the answer was no,” he said.

A new album by Swift, Midnights, will be released on October 21. This album is a reflection of Swift’s experiences in life and love over the past two years. It is to be hoped that there will be some, ah, a little clear reference to her current love, but either way, the Swifties will be able to decipher it within no time.

Taylor Swift Career – Songs And Movies

It was in Nashville that Swift established a working relationship with Liz Rose and worked with experienced Nashville songwriters such as Troy Verges, Brett Beavers, Brett James, Mac McAnally, and the Warren Brothers.

On Tuesday afternoons after school, they met for two-hour writing sessions. Rose thought the sessions were “some of the easiest I have ever done. I was just her editor. She would write about what happened in school that day. She always came up with incredible hooks.”

At the age of 14, Swift left the Sony-owned RCA Records label due to the label’s carelessness and “cutting other people’s stuff”.

The artist also expressed concerns about development deals shelving artists and said, “I felt like I was running out of time. I wanted to record these years of my life while they still represented me.”

Beginnings And First Album Of Taylor Swift

• Swift caught Scott Borchetta’s attention at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe in 2005, as he was preparing to form Big Machine Records, an independent record label.
• Borchetta first met her in 2004. Her father bought a three-percent stake in the company for an estimated $120,000 as one of Big Machine’s first signings.
• Her eponymous debut album was produced by Nathan Chapman, who she felt had the right “chemistry”.
• Three songs were written by Swift alone, and eight were co-written with Rose, Robert Ellis Orrall, Brian Maher, and Angelo Petraglia. It was released on October 24, 2006.
• It peaked at number five on the Billboard 200, where it spent 157 weeks — the longest stay by any release in the 2000s.

Taylor Swift Controversies

She Removed Her Entire Catalog From Spotify And Another Music Platforms

Swift emphasized the importance of albums to both artists and fans prior to 1989’s release. She removed her entire catalog from Spotify in November 2014, arguing that Spotify’s free, ad-supported service undermined its premium service, which pays higher royalties.

In an open letter published in June 2015, Swift criticized Apple Music for failing to pay royalties to artists during its free three-month trial period and announced that 1989 would be removed from the streaming service’s catalog. During a free trial period, Apple Inc. announced that it would pay artists, and Swift agreed to allow 1989 to be streamed on the service.

Swift’s intellectual property holding company, TAS Rights Management, filed 73 trademark applications related to Swift and 1989-era memes. In June 2017, she returned her entire catalog, including 1989, to Spotify, Amazon Music, and Google Play, as well as other digital streaming platforms.

Swift became the first artist to win the Billboard Woman of the Year award twice in 2014. Swift received the inaugural Dick Clark Award for Excellence at the 2014 American Music Awards. She was honored with an exhibit at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on the occasion of her 25th birthday, which ran until October 4, 2015, and broke museum attendance records.

Swift won the Brit Award for International Female Solo Artist in 2015. At the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, the video for “Bad Blood” won Video of the Year and Best Collaboration. At the 2015 Academy of Country Music Awards, Swift was one of eight artists to receive a 50th Anniversary Milestone Award.

On the occasion of the 58th Grammy Awards in 2016, 1989 won Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, while “Bad Blood” won Best Music Video. The first woman and the fifth act overall to win Album of the Year twice as a lead artist was Taylor Swift.

Contract Issues With ‘Big Machine’

In the course of promoting Lover, Swift was embroiled in a public dispute over ownership of the masters of her back catalog with talent manager Scooter Braun and Big Machine Records. Swift stated that she had attempted to purchase the masters, but Big Machine would not allow her to do so unless she exchanged a new album for each older one, which she refused to do.

In November 2020, Swift began re-recording her back catalog. She has also co-written and recorded the Golden Globe-nominated original song “Beautiful Ghosts” for the movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Cats (2019).

The film was panned by critics, but Swift was praised for her performance. It premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and was released on Netflix in January of that year.
