Wer datete John Mayer?

John Clayton Mayer ( MAY-ər; born October 16, 1977) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, but he left for Atlanta in 1997 with fellow guitarist Clay Cook, with whom he formed the short-lived rock duo Lo-Fi Masters. After their split, Mayer continued to play at local clubs, refining his skills and gaining a minor following. He performed at the 2000 South by Southwest festival, and was subsequently signed by Aware Records, an imprint of Columbia Records through which he released his debut extended play (EP), Inside Wants Out (1999). His first two studio albums—Room for Squares (2001) and Heavier Things (2003)—were both met with critical and commercial success; the former spawned the single "Your Body Is a Wonderland", which won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, while the latter peaked atop the Billboard 200.

By 2005, Mayer had moved away from the acoustic music that characterized his early records, and further delved into the blues and rock music that had originally influenced him. Forming the John Mayer Trio, he released the live album Try! (2005) and his third studio album, Continuum (2006). The latter was met with positive critical reception and was nominated for Album of the Year, and won both Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for its single "Waiting on the World to Change" at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. It was followed by Battle Studies (2009), which marked his return to pop.

After having several controversial incidents with the media, Mayer withdrew from public life in 2010 and drew inspiration from the 1970s pop music of Laurel Canyon for the sound of his fifth studio album, Born and Raised (2012). Discovery of a granuloma on his vocal cords delayed the release of the album until May 2012, and forced him to cancel its accompanying tour. Despite favorable reception and becoming his second release to peak atop the Billboard 200, the album was less commercially successful than his previous work. Mayer recovered in January 2013 and released his sixth studio album, Paradise Valley in August of that year, which peaked at number two on the chart and incorporated country, folk, and Americana influences. His seventh album, The Search for Everything (2017) was a loose concept album based around themes of a romantic break-up. His eighth, Sob Rock (2021), was inspired by 1980s soft rock music.

Outside of his solo career, Mayer has produced and provided music for various artists spanning multiple genres, such as Frank Ocean, Kanye West, Travis Scott, Alicia Keys, Jack Harlow, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, Harry Styles, Daniel Caesar, Khalid, Jhené Aiko, and Barbra Streisand, among others. In 2015, three former members of the Grateful Dead joined with Mayer and two other musicians to form the band Dead & Company. It was the latest of several reunions of the band's surviving members since Jerry Garcia's death in 1995. Mayer's secondary career pursuits extend to television hosting, comedy, and writing; he has authored columns for magazines such as Esquire. He supports various causes and has performed at charity benefits. He is a watch aficionado (with a collection he values in the "tens of millions" of dollars), contributing to the watch site Hodinkee, has been on the jury at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, and was appointed as the Creative Conduit of Audemars Piguet in 2024. By 2014, he had sold a total of over 20 million albums worldwide.

Taylor Alison Swift (* 13. Dezember 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania) ist eine US-amerikanische Pop- und Country-Sängerin, Gitarristin, Songwriterin, Musikproduzentin und Schauspielerin. Sie verkaufte mehr als 200 Millionen Tonträger und gehört zu den kommerziell erfolgreichsten Musikern.

Swift begann im Alter von 14 Jahren mit dem Schreiben von Texten. Um Country-Musikerin zu werden, zog sie im selben Alter nach Nashville. 2004 unterzeichnete sie einen Songwriting-Vertrag bei Sony/ATV Music Publishing und 2005 einen Plattenvertrag bei Big Machine Records. Ihr Debütalbum Taylor Swift machte sie 2006 zur ersten Country-Sängerin, die an einem mit Platin ausgezeichneten US-Album mitgeschrieben hat.

Swifts nächste Alben, Fearless (2008) und Speak Now (2010), sind im Country-Pop angesiedelt, wobei auf dem Album Speak Now auch Rockelemente erkennbar sind. Die auf Fearless enthaltenen Stücke Love Story und You Belong with Me waren die ersten Country-Songs, die sowohl die Country- als auch die Pop-Airplay- bzw. Hot-100-Airplay-Charts anführten und Swift schlagartig berühmt machten.

Auf dem 2012 erschienenen Album Red, das ihren ersten Nummer-eins-Song der Billboard Hot 100, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, enthielt, experimentierte sie mit elektronischen Stilen. Mit ihrem 2014 veröffentlichten fünften Studioalbum 1989 hatte sie das Country-Genre gänzlich verlassen; die darauf enthaltenen Synthiepop-Songs Shake It Off, Blank Space und Bad Blood wurden Chartstürmer. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Medien inspirierte ihr Hip-Hop-geprägtes Album Reputation (2017), aus dem die Nummer-eins-Single Look What You Made Me Do hervorging. Swift verließ den Musikverlag Big Machine, unterschrieb 2018 bei Republic Records und veröffentlichte 2019 ihr siebtes Studioalbum Lover, gefolgt von der im folgenden Jahr erschienenen autobiografischen Dokumentation Miss Americana.

Nach einem Streit mit Big Machine Records nahm sie vier der sechs von ihren dort erschienenen Alben neu auf und veröffentlichte sie zwischen 2021 und 2023 mit dem Namenszusatz Taylor’s Version. Dabei wurde ihre überarbeitete Version von All Too Well mit einer Dauer von 10:13 Minuten zum längsten Nummer-1-Hit der Hot-100-Chartgeschichte.

Ihr zehntes Studioalbum Midnights erschien 2022, brach mehrere Streaming-Rekorde und war ihr fünftes Album, das sich in den USA über eine Million Mal verkaufte, was bis dahin niemandem gelungen war. Es enthält ihren neunten Nummer-eins-Hit Anti-Hero. Swift hat bei den Musikfilmen Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions und All Too Well: The Short Film Regie geführt und in anderen Filmen Nebenrollen gespielt. Swift ist eine Fürsprecherin für die Rechte von Musikern.

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (Santa Bárbara, 25 de outubro de 1984), conhecida pelo nome artístico Katy Perry, é uma cantora, empresária, e personalidade de televisão estadunidense. Conhecida por sua notabilidade na música pop moderna, ela foi chamada de "Rainha do Camp" pela revista Vogue. Seguindo uma carreira na música gospel aos 16 anos, Perry lançou seu álbum de estreia, Katy Hudson, pela Red Hill Records em 2001, que não obteve sucesso comercial. Ela se mudou para Los Angeles aos 17 anos para se aventurar na música secular, e mais tarde adotou o nome artístico de "Katy Perry", originário do nome de solteira de sua mãe. Ela gravou um álbum enquanto contratada da Columbia Records, mas foi dispensada, e então assinou com a Capitol Records.

Ela alcançou a fama com o disco One of the Boys (2008), um disco de pop rock contendo seu single de estreia "I Kissed a Girl" e o single seguinte "Hot n Cold", que alcançou o número um e três na tabela estadunidense Billboard Hot 100, respectivamente. O álbum pop influenciado pela música disco Teenage Dream (2010) gerou cinco singles a alcançar o topo da parada dos Estados Unidos - "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T." e "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" - tornando-se o único álbum por uma artista feminina a alcançar tal feito. Uma reedição do álbum, intitulado Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection (2012), posteriormente produziu o single "Part of Me", que também alcançou o topo da tabela estadunidense.

Seu álbum com tema de empoderamento, Prism (2013), teve dois singles número um nos Estados Unidos, "Roar" e "Dark Horse". Ambos os respectivos videoclipes fizeram de Perry o primeiro artista a ter mais de vídeo atingindo um bilhão de visualizações na plataforma Vevo. O álbum de eletropop Witness (2017) apresentou temas de feminismo e um subtexto político, enquanto Smile (2020) foi influenciado por sua recente jornada de maternidade e saúde mental. Posteriormente, ela embarcou em sua residência de shows em Las Vegas intitulada Play (2021–2023), recebendo aclamação da crítica e sucesso comercial. Em 2024, lançou seu álbum de dance pop "143", precedido pelo polêmico single "Woman’s World". Num geral, o disco fala sobre amor e contém canções dedicadas à sua filha, Daisy Dove.

Perry é um dos artistas musicais que mais venderam em todos os tempos, tendo vendido mais de 143 milhões de discos em todo o mundo. Ela tem nove singles a alcançarem o número um nos Estados Unidos, três álbuns número um nos Estados Unidos bem como vários prêmios, incluindo um Billboard Spotlight Award (atualmente a única artista feminina a ter um), quatro Guinness World Records, cinco Billboard Music Awards, cinco American Music Awards, um Brit Award e um Juno Award. Perry foi incluída nas listas anuais da Forbes das mulheres mais bem pagas na música de 2011 a 2019. Sua aclamada apresentação no intervalo do Super Bowl em 2015 é a mais assistida da história. Fora da música, ela lançou um documentário autobiográfico intitulado Katy Perry: Part of Me em 2012, dublou Smurfette na série de filmes The Smurfs e lançou sua própria linha de sapatos Katy Perry Collections em 2017. Perry atuou como jurada no American Idol de 2018 até 2024. Ela também é a segunda mulher mais seguida e a sexta pessoa mais seguida no Twitter, com mais de 108 milhões de seguidores. Em agosto de 2024, a Billboard considerou Perry como sendo a 25.ª maior estrela pop do período 2000-2024. Em setembro de 2024, Katy Perry recebeu o Video Vanguard Award pela sua contribuição para a arte do videoclipe, onde também realizou uma performance contendo canções de seu novo disco "143" e seus maiores sucessos.
