Taylor Swift, who writes all of her own songs, is a global superstar, seven-time GRAMMY winner and the youngest winner in history of the music industry’s highest honor, the GRAMMY Award for Album of the Year.

She is the first artist since the Beatles (and the only female artist in history) to log six or more weeks at #1 in the U.S. with three consecutive studio albums. Taylor has an album on Rolling Stone’s prestigious THE 50 GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME (by women) list, Time magazine has named her one the of the 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE in the world, and she is Billboard’s youngest-ever WOMAN OF THE YEAR and the only artist to have been awarded this honor twice. Taylor has career record sales in excess of 30 million albums and almost 80 million song downloads worldwide, and has had singles top both the pop and country radio charts around the globe. Taylor’s album RED (Big Machine Records), released two years ago, sold more than 1.2 million copies in the U.S. in its first week, scoring the highest first-week sales debut of any album in over a decade. “Shake It Off.” the first single off her critically acclaimed fifth studio album 1989, topped Billboard’s Pop, HotAC and Hot 100 charts and has earned double PLATINUM-status by the RIAA for exceeding sales of two million downloads in the U.S., and has peaked at #1 1 in 64 countries on iTunes. 1989 topped iTunes’ sales charts in 95 countries on its release and was the highest selling first week release of 2014.

    I went to the Taylor Swift concert several years ago when she performed in Washington,
    D.C. and loved the show. I hope to see another one when she is in the area again.
