Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift may be country music's reigning sweetheart, but this songwriting, hit-making beauty isn't afraid to kiss and tell! With such hits as "Our Song" and "Love Story" and romances with Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal under her belt, the newly minted Cover Girl has launched into music superstardom.

Although Swift has been eager to stake her claim in country music since age 11, she's taken Goldilocks' "just right" philosophy when it comes to record deals: she backed out on a contract that didn't let her write and sing her own songs – and she was barely 14. By 2010, Swift won four Grammys, released three No. 1 albums (including the mega-selling Speak Now) and became the youngest-ever winner of the CMA's top trophy for entertainer of the year at age 19. In October of 2012, Swift released her fourth album, Red, and went on to receive the Pinnacle Award at the 2013 CMA Awards.
