Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more Why is she on the bottom. Her songs are beautifully written and have purpose and meaning. Where as if we look at Katy Perry and Lady Gaga's lyrics for a second, "I wanna take a bite of your disco stick" and "California Girls are undeniable" these are not purposeful or meaningful. If you sincerely think that Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are the best songwriters from 2008-2012 I have no hope for you.

Since then she's released (and mostly self-written) 18 singles (all but one being a cover) and 6 complete albums. Although obviously a big name in Norway, she's actually sold even more albums in Germany, and almost as many in The Netherlands as in her native country. Switzerland, Austria, Poland and USA - the latter where she had a smashing summer hit a few years ago, called You're The Only One, as well as performing for David Letterman - are two other markets where she's experienced considerable success.
