Taylor Swift was 16-years-old when her debut single “Tim McGraw” was released. Since then Swift has been selling records and setting records. She’s already become one of the most successful artists of the decade.

The EP debuted at number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. For the same week, her debut album was number two on the same chart. This made Swift the first artists to hold the top two positions on the Top Country Album Chart since her idol, LeAnn Rimes, did it in 1997.

Her sophomore effort, Fearless, was released in 2008. Highlighting her transition from a country-pop artist to a pop artist, her album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and eventually spent eight weeks at the top spot.
