Taylor Swift has been nominated for 19 Grammy awards and has won seven of them, including 2010's Album of the Year for Fearless. Basically, anytime Swift has a new album, you can expect a nomination or two, and her new album, 1989, is in line for potential nomination come December. The Grammys are starting to see a pattern here, and have now given the "Shake It Off" singer her own exhibit in Los Angeles' Grammy Museum called The Taylor Swift Experience.
The exhibit will go on display at the museum on Swift's 25th birthday on Dec. 13 through May 10, 2015 and will feature never-before-seen personal photographs and home videos, interactive experiences, handwritten lyrics of her hits, and iconic outfits. According to the Grammys' website, "this one-of-a-kind exhibit will give visitors and fans an in-depth look at the multi-platinum-selling artist as a singer, musician, songwriter, entrepreneur, and style icon."
Among the artifacts on display are Swift's childhood reading books, costumes from her Red Tour, handwritten lyrics from "22," her actual 2009 Grammy award for Best Female Country Performance, props from her "Shake It Off" video shoot, dresses from her "Mean" and "Teardrops On My Guitar" music videos, the banjo from her 2012 Grammy performance, and more.
"Global superstar Taylor Swift is one of popular music's biggest talents, whose music is beloved by millions of fans worldwide," said Bob Santelli, Executive Director of the Grammy Museum. "The story of Taylor's remarkable rise to superstardom is one that the Grammy Museum is extremely excited to tell."
Her latest album 1989 has hit 2 million in sales, 312,000 this week. This exhibit is a smart move for the Grammy Museum, as Swift has a very dedicated fan base that would be thrilled to check out their idol's personal artifacts.
