20 Rare Images Of Taylor Swift You Need To See

Taylor Swift (aka Tay, T-Swift, Swifty, T-Swizzle and - creepily - Dead Tooth) is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most recognised faces and voices across the world at the minute. At just 25 not only has she sold more than 40 million albums and 130 million single downloads, she's also almost dingle-handedly taken on digital distributors and made them change their terms. And it's not accident that she's worth a whopping $200 million, or that she's dating almost as famous DJ and real-life giant Calvin Harris. Having started her music career at just 14T-Swift has managed to rack up an amazing 7 Grammy Awards, 16 American Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards (and a whole load of other awards that would take us forever to get through). If she wanted, she could retire immediately, buy an island and never have to do a day's work in her life again. Instead, thankfully, she continues to go from strength to strength, reinventing herself stylistically every couple of years and bursting through genre restrictions. She even reportedly turned down $200 million to perform for free at her godson's christening, which makes her a legitimate hero. No wonder so many pop-loving girls want her not only to be their BFF, but also their career inspiration. And what better way to celebrate the queen of social media and pop princess than with a gallery of 20 rare and beautiful images? Long Live Taylor Swift.
