"Reputation" is the singer's sixth album and includes the chart-topping first single, "Look What You Made Me Do." The album broke multiple records within hours of its release. With more than 10 million streams, it is the most-streamed song in a one-day period ever. The lyric video for "Look What You Made Me Do" broke the standing record with more than 19 million views, while the music video broke the original most-viewed video (28 million) record with 43.2 million views in 24 hours.

Swift is also the only artist in history to have three albums selling more than one million copies in their first week of release (2010's "Speak Now," 2012's "RED" and 2014's "1989").

She is the youngest person in history to win the music industry's highest honor, the Grammy Award for Album of the year, and she is the first female solo artist to win this prestigious award twice. Rolling Stone listed Swift as one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.

Time magazine named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world and one of only eight candidates for their most prestigious honor, 2014's Person of the Year. A Brit and Emmy award winner, Swift is Billboard's youngest-ever Woman of the Year and the only artist to have been awarded that honor twice.
