The most successful songwriter-producer in pop history, Sweden's Max Martin brought his legendary melodic precision to Taylor Swift's transition from country to global pop superstardom. Co-writing and producing the lion's share of 1989, Martin helped craft 'Shake It Off,' 'Blank Space,' 'Style,' and 'Bad Blood' — songs that collectively dominated 2014-2015 radio and cemented Taylor as the biggest pop star in the world. His return on Reputation continued the partnership, and his reunion with Taylor on The Life of a Showgirl produced the chart-topping 'The Fate of Ophelia' and 'Opalite.' Martin's gift is an almost mathematical sense of melody and hook construction.
