One of America's biggest pop success stories of the past decade, Taylor Alison Swift's not yet 25 and she's already broken sales records, filled several shelves with awards and amassed a personal fortune of over $200 million. That's down to her incredibly infectious songs, which mix up Shania Twain-style country-pop with teen-friendly themes – but also to the steely-eyed determination and ambition which compelled Swift to move to Nashville at the age of 14, enter the lucrative country music market and then explosively cross over into the pop world with her second album 'Fearless'.
Now she stops off in London on her biggest tour yet, promoting her fourth record 'Red' with a dramatic, flawlessly choreographed pop show complete with props, pyrotechnics, plenty of dancers and costume changes – and the odd number where Taylor strips it all back with a banjo or piano.
