PEOPLE’s new Special Issue highlights everything you need to know about Taylor Swift—whether you’re already a superfan or just discovering her. From her early days singing the national anthem at local events to her current global success on the Eras Tour, Swift is at the peak of her career.
Born in Pennsylvania, Swift began her music career in 2006 with her debut single “Tim McGraw,” which became a Top 40 hit. Over the past 18 years, she has released 11 studio albums, won 14 Grammy Awards, and accumulated over 85 billion streams.
The Special Issue, now available on newsstands and Amazon, delves into Swift’s life and career from A to Z:
All Too Well: This song is the longest ever to top the Billboard Hot 100, running for over 10 minutes.
CPR: The title track of Swift’s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, has a tempo of 110 beats per minute, which is ideal for performing CPR.
Directing: Swift directed the striking video for her single “Fortnight” from the The Tortured Poets Department album, which features Post Malone.
The Eras Tour: This tour is set to be the highest-grossing concert series ever and could make Swift a double billionaire by the end of it in December 2024.
Interview: In her first interview with PEOPLE, Swift shared how she decided against dating and skipped her high school prom to tour with Brad Paisley.
