Swift's songwriting, often inspired from her own life, has was praised by critics. Swift was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania. She moved to Nashville in Tennessee at the age of 14 to become a singer-songwriter. Swift signed a songwriting contract with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, in 2004, and a recording contract at Big Machine Records, in 2005. Swift was the first female country artist to make a U.S. platinum-certified debut album with her self-titled album. Swift's second album, Fearless (2008) was about country pop. Speak Now (2010) was her third album. The songs "Love Story" and "You Belong to Me" from the former were the first to be top of the U.S. all-genre and pop charts. Red (2012) included her first Billboard Hot 100 song number one, "We Are Never Ever Going Back Together". She shunned her country image and dropped 1989 (2014), an album of synth-pop that featured the chart-topping songs "Shake It off", "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood".
