Soon, Taylor Swift will need a room just for her awards. At the 2013 AMAs on Sunday (Nov. 24), the singer was named Artist of the Year -- the biggest award of the evening.

Every year, Forbes puts together the World's Highest Paid Musicians list, and just like last year, country artists Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith roll in near the top with a serious amount of cash.

As a Grammy Award-winning songstress, Taylor Swift is recognizable to millions of people. But sometimes, it gets a little confusing -- the singer was recently named next of kin to someone she's never even met.

Taylor Swift is a crossover pop queen these days, but that doesn't mean she's turning her back on her roots; her royal heels are still firmly planted in country music.

Taylor Swift has been at the center of the 'what's country' and 'what's not country' debate for the last couple of years. Much like 90s hit-maker Shania Twain, Swift has managed to dominate both Country and Pop radio, but as of late it seems her success leans more towards the Pop genre.

It was another banner year on the road for Taylor Swift, as her Red Tour was one of the best-selling and most talked about treks of 2013.

Taylor Swift is a highly public person who lives a very private life. Because of her fierce determination to shield much of her personal life, she explains that the only time fans get the real truth is in her albums.

Taylor Swift's love of rap music is well-documented. The singer showed off her skills in the genre by covering about a minute of Eminem's classic cut 'Lose Yourself,' which was featured in his movie '8 Mile.'

Taylor Swift's performance of 'Red' with Vince Gill and Alison Krauss didn't just earn the 23-year-old a standing ovation at the 2013 CMA Awards, it also generated quite the buzz -- so much so that radio stations and iTunes already have the song.

Taylor Swift has a major gig coming up on her calendar. The 'Red' superstar will be playing at the Winter Whites Gala charity event to benefit the homeless on Nov. 26, where else but at the royal abode of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The 47th annual CMA Awards don't take place until Wednesday night (Nov. 6), but two winners in two categories have already been announced. The winners for Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year categories have been named. Actually, it's one group of winners, since the same song and artists nabbed both wins!

Taylor Swift's upcoming performance on the 2013 CMA Awards with an all-star band consisting of Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Sam Bush, Edgar Meyer and Eric Darken won't just be cool for fans. According to the singer, it will be "life-alteringly cool" for her, too.
