Taylor Swift Profile

Why Is She Famous?
Taylor Swift is the toast of Nashville thanks to the success of her coming-of-age anthem “Tim McGraw” from her self-titled debut album. “I’m still in the ‘Oh my gosh this is really happening’ phase,” she admits. “After all these concerts that I do, people line up and want me to sign things. I still haven’t been able to grasp the fact that if I sign a piece of paper, it might mean something to somebody.”

Success
Get used to hearing Taylor’s name. This former farm girl has “swiftly” risen to the top of Nashville’s ranks thanks to the success of her self-titled debut album. Released on October 24, 2006, the sparkling 11-song compilation has already claimed the No. 3 spot on the Country Albums chart and has risen as high as No. 19 on the U.S. Albums chart. Of course, much of that success can be attributed to her hit single “Tim McGraw,” an undeniably catchy tune that has transformed Taylor Swift into a household name.
Quotes
"Everything about this business is exciting to me, whether it's putting on a pretty dress to go to an awards show or putting on a sweatshirt to go into the studio to record."

Cate Blanchett

Why Is She Famous?
This former Mouseketeer rubbed the charts the right way with the catchy single "Genie In A Bottle," and followed up her success with a tribute to her Latin roots, the album Mi Reflejo. Her 2006 album, Back to Basics, sold more than 3.5 million copies. And who can forget that lesbian kiss with Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards or those chaps that she sported in her "Dirrty" music video?

Success
Christina's success was almost instantaneous. Her first single, 1998's "Reflection" from the Mulan soundtrack, which was released before she ever even recorded her first full-length album, peaked in the top 20 on the Adult Contemporary Singles Chart, and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1998.

The first single from her 1999 self-titled album, "Genie In A Bottle," went to No.1 and her album sales toppled the 10-million mark. The album also earned her the Best New Artist award at the 2000 Grammys.

After the release of Christina Aguilera, the songstress released the ever-popular "Lady Marmalade" single with Pink and Lil' Kim in 2001 (which nailed No.1 on the charts), put out Stripped in 2002 (which sold more than 10 million albums worldwide), and released Back to Basics in 2006 (which sold more than 3.5 million albums worldwide).

Throughout her career, Christina Aguilera has been nominated for more than a dozen Grammy Awards, and has managed to take home a few.
