Taylor Swift is going through a huge professional moment. She started off performing the national anthem at neighborhood athletic events as a child and is currently selling out stadiums all over the world on her record-breaking Eras Tour.

The singer, who hails from modest Pennsylvanian beginnings, made her entrance in the music business in 2006 when the track «Tim McGraw,» off her self-titled debut album, became her first Top 40 success.

Swift has penned intelligent lyrics for 11 studio albums in the last 18 years, earned 14 Grammy Awards, and amassed over 85 billion streams.

Directing. The stunning music video for «Fortnight,» a track off her album The Tortured Poets Department that features Post Malone, was directed by the singer-songwriter.
