Having previously also won the same award for Fearless (2010) and 1989 (2016) Swift became the first female artist to win the prestigious award thrice. The only others to have achieved such a feat are all men namely Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon.

5. She is a big fan of Cats

If you describe Taylor Swift as a certified cat lady, you won’t be entirely wrong as she has a thing for these particular species of animals. The singer owns three cats and often takes any chance she gets to show them off on her social media handles. Interestingly the cats are named after movie characters, including Meredith Grey (from Grey’s Anatomy), Olivia Benson (from Law & Order SVU), and Benjamin Button (from the Brad Pitt film of the same name), which gives us an insight into Ms. Taylor’s viewing habits.

James Taylor is a rock artist who won six Grammy awards in the course of his career. He also sold more than 100 million records and garnered millions of fans including Taylor Swift’s parents. The couple was so deep into his music that they decided to name one of their children after him. As fate would have it, the child will grow up to be equally a famous musician and ended up sharing the stage with the senior Taylor in 2011.

She also hosted a TV show and was a big deal in places such as Puerto Rico. Marjorie passed away in 2003 and in 2020, her famous granddaughter dedicated one of the tracks from her album, Evermore, to her memory. The track, Marjorie, also sampled her vocals.
