Four year's later,Swift has become a multi-awards winner,with the biggest selling albums(唱片).For her outstanding performance,Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine's woman in 2011.She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Awards,among them Top Country Album for the five-time platinum(白金) selling Speak Now,her third album that was released that year.
"Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles."said Bill Werde,Billboard's editorial director,"And at such a young age,Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere."
Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started.She followed that up in 2008with Fearless,which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits,including Love Story,You Belong With Me and White Horse.
Not surprisingly,the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20million albums and 40million songs downloads.Swift has spent the past year on the Speak NOW World Tour in support of her third album,and now she's getting ready to go further.
According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine,Swift has so far written about 10songs for a 2016album.She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.
"They're sad if I'm being honest."Swift told The New Yorker."They're about my heartbreaks and my moving on.But more importantly,they are about achieving contentment.You're not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up."
