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.
