New image

What do you all say about changing the infobox image to one of the Golden Globe ones?

Years active

Could someone clarify how her career started in 2003 is listed in the infobox, even though her first album wasn't released until 2006? As an amateur editor, I am interested in understanding this discrepancy. Thank you. Newpicarchive (talk) 13:53, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Per the article history section, she began recording music in 2003, thus she was active beginning that year. glman (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

They all contain puffery with words like "distinctive", and some of the piped links here are too Easter egg-y (e.g. "influential"). This version is fine and fully complies with the neutral point of view policy while properly conveying her influence. FrB.TG (talk) 06:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
How about this: Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. A subject of widespread public interest with a vast fanbase, she has influenced the music industry, popular culture and politics through her artistry, songwriting, entrepreneurship, and advocacy. I believe it sounds better. Samuelloveslennonstella (talk) 07:54, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that does sound better. FrB.TG (talk) 08:16, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Adding re-releases to the lead

Should this be discussed in the lead? They are complete re-recordings and include new music, so should they be considered additional albums and given mention in the lead? LegalSmeagolian (talk) 19:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
