all of the songs on the album, which debuted at #19 on the Billboard 200 and
sold more than 61,000 during its first week. It later peaked at #1 at Billboard
Top Country Albums and #5 at Billboard 200. It also spent eight consecutive
weeks at the top of the Top Country Albums charts, and has since sold over 3
million copies. Swift has surpassed the 20 million mark for music streams on
MySpace. She is currently ranked at 15 for the most MySpace visits for all
genres of music, and is MySpace's current top-ranking Country artist.
Taylor Swift performing in 2007.Swift's debut single, "Tim McGraw", was released
in Summer 2006. "I wrote the song in my freshman year of high school", she says.
"I was dating a guy named Brandon Borello, and I was about to move. I knew we
were going to break up so I started thinking of all the things that I knew would
remind him of me. Surprisingly, the first thing that came to mind was that my
favorite country artist is Tim McGraw". "Tim McGraw" peaked at #6 on the
Billboard Hot Country Songs charts for the week of January 27, 2007. The song's
music video set a record by appearing for 30 consecutive weeks on GAC's
fan-voted weekly Top 20 music countdown show, and reached number one on CMT's
video charts. The video also won Swift an award for Breakthrough Video of the
Year at the 2007 CMT Music Awards. Her pursuit of country music stardom was the
subject of "GAC Short Cuts", a part-documentary, part-music-video series airing
since the summer of 2006 on the country music channel.
On May 15, 2007, Swift performed "Tim McGraw" at the Academy of Country Music
Awards. She sang the song to Tim McGraw in the audience, and introduced herself
for the first time to him. Swift has been an opening act for Tim McGraw and
Faith Hill on their Soul2Soul 2007 tour. She has opened in the past for George
Strait, Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts as well. On August 21, 2007, Swift
performed live on the season finale of America's Got Talent.
The second single from the Taylor Swift album, "Teardrops On My Guitar", was
released February 24, 2007. The song was inspired by a true event during her
time in high school in which she liked a boy named "Drew Hardwick". He only saw
Swift as a friend and a go-to person for advice about his relationship with his
girlfriend. She noted she heard "through the grapevine" that Drew is well aware
the song was written about him. "Teardrops on My Guitar" originally made its
peak positions in Summer 2007, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Country Chart and
#33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was re-released to the Hot 100 and Pop
100 in late 2007 with a Pop remix that brought "Teardrops on My Guitar" to #13
on the Hot 100 and #11 on the Pop 100.
In October 2007, Swift's songwriting peers at the Nashville Songwriters
Association International honored her with their Songwriter/Artist of the Year
Award, making her the youngest artist ever to win the award.
On November 7, 2007, Swift won the 2007 CMA Horizon Award and also performed
"Our Song", the third single from her album, which would go on to become her
first #1 song the week of December 22, 2007, where it leaped up from the #6
spot. This was the biggest jump to Number One since January 1998, when Tim
McGraw's "Just to See You Smile", also jumped from #6 to #1. "Our Song" spent
six weeks at #1 on the Country charts and also peaked at #16 on the Billboard
Hot 100 and #24 on the Billboard Pop 100.
Swift also recorded a holiday album, Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift
Holiday Collection, that was released October 16, 2007, exclusively available at
Target stores. The album, which was not as successful as her self-titled debut,
featured both holiday classics such as "Last Christmas" and original songs
written by Swift.
Swift was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award in the category of Best New Artist,
but lost to Amy Winehouse. Swift's successful single, "Picture to Burn" was the
fourth single from her debut album. The song debuted early in 2008 and peaked at
#3 on the Billboard Country Chart in the spring of 2008.
Swift was cover girl of Seventeen Magazine in the June 2008 issue. She was also
named number 52 on Maxim's sexiest women of '08.
Big Machine Records announced the release of "Should've Said No" on Monday, May
19. The song is the fifth and final single from Swift's debut album. She
performed it on 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. The performance
started off with her dressed in a hooded sweatshirt and jeans, but soon after a
short black halter dress was revealed. In the last minute of the song, she went
backstage to perform the final verse under a cascading waterfall. Swift had
wanted to do that performance on stage with the water and the change of clothes
since she was 10 years old. In 2008, Swift released Beautiful Eyes, an EP sold
exclusively at Wal-Mart.
In July of 2008, Swift graduated from the Aaron Academy, a Christian school
which offers a home schooling program. "Should've Said No" became her second
Number One single for the chart dated August 23, 2008.
