Taylor at the top

How pop superstar Taylor Swift conquered the music world

LIVE AWARDS BRIT Awards Saturday, 8.30pm, ITV1

There’s no bigger pop star in the world right now than Taylor Swift.

From releasing her debut album aged just 16, the Pennsylvania-born singer has wowed fans around the globe with mega-hits including Shake It Off and Anti-Hero. Last year, she was Spotify’s most-streamed artist – racking up more than 26 billion streams – and was even named Person of the Year by US magazine Time.

So, it’s hardly a surprise that the 34-year-old superstar is up for a BRIT Award this week at the live ceremony, hosted by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo from London’s O2.
