A new Special Issue from PEOPLE celebrates everything to know about the singer (if you didn’t know it all already!)

From singing the national anthem at local sporting events as a child to selling out stadiums around the globe on her record-breaking Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is experiencing a major career moment.

The singer, who has humble Pennsylvania roots, first entered the music industry in 2006 when she scored her first Top 40 hit with “Tim McGraw,” a song from her self-titled debut album.

Over the past 18 years, Swift has thoughtfully penned lyrics to 11 studio albums, won 14 Grammy Awards and boasts more than 85 billion streams.

As PEOPLE celebrates her incredible career in a new Special Issue (available now on newsstands and Amazon), explore Swift’s life and career in photos, from A to Z.

Beyoncé. The two singers have been friends since 2009 and supported each other’s world tours in 2023.
