After signing her first record contract at the age of just 14, Taylor Swift has become one of the most successful singers and songwriters of all time - with over 200 million records sold.
She’s currently in the middle of her global Eras Tour, which has broken pretty much every record going, including the first tour in history to gross over $1 billion.
With three concerts in Edinburgh as part of the European leg of her tour, Swiftmania is reaching a peak in Scotland, where tickets sold out in minutes almost a year ago.
As well as having a remarkable talent to write a chart-topping song, Taylor Swift is a fascinating personality who is a dream to interview, regularly coming out with memorable lines.
