taylor swift (album)
one of the most commercially successful country artists of the late 2000s and early 2010s has been singer-songwriter taylor swift. swift first became widely known in 2006 when her debut single, "tim mcgraw," was released when swift was only 16. in 2006, swift released her first studio album, "taylor swift", which spent 275 weeks on billboard 200, one of the longest runs of any album on that chart. in 2008, taylor swift released her second studio album, "fearless", which made her the second-longest number one charted on billboard 200 and the second best-selling album (just behind adele's "21") within the past 5 years. at the 2010 grammys, taylor swift was 20 and won album of the year for "fearless", which made her the youngest artist to win this award. swift has received ten grammys already. buoyed by her teen idol status among girls and a change in the methodology of compiling the "billboard" charts to favor pop-crossover songs, swift's 2012 single "we are never ever getting back together" spent the most weeks at the top of billboard's hot country songs chart of any song in nearly five decades. the song's long run at the top of the chart was somewhat controversial, as the song is largely a pop song without much country influence and its success on the charts driven by a change to the chart's criteria to include airplay on non-country radio stations, prompting disputes over what constitutes a country song; many of swift's later releases, such as album "1989" (2014), "reputation" (2017), "lover" (2019) were released solely to pop audiences.
