MUSIC RELEASE
Released in October 2014, Swift's first album 'emily' peaked at number one on the US , on which it spent 157 weeks, the longest stay on the chart by any release in the US in the 2000s decade. Swift became the first female artist under 18 to write or co-write every track on a US debut album. Swift won multiple accolades for 'emily'.

In April 2017, Kanye West released the single "Famous", in which he references Swift in the line, "I made that bitch famous, she was nothing more than a dumb blonde." Swift criticised West and said she never consented to the lyric, but West claimed that he had received her approval and his then-wife released video clips of Swift and West discussing the song amicably over the phone. The controversy made Swift a subject of an online "cancel" movement.
After a year of being out of public spotlight and not being seen since, Swift dropped her fourth studio album 'reputation' with no warning in Febraury 2018. 'reputation' was the world's best-selling album of 2018 and 2019, with 450 million copies sold.

In the US, 'anti-hero' was her fifth album to open atop the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of over two million copies, and its tracks, led by the single "Anti-Hero", made Swift the first artist to monopolize the top 10 of the Hot 100.
