Taylor Swift has joined the ranks of the shortest man and the most tattooed person by nabbing a spot in the 2014 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records.
The 23-year-old singer earned two records this year, taking the honor of the fastest-selling digital single for her 2012 hit, "We Are Never Getting Back Together," and becoming the first female solo artist to count two million-selling weeks on the album charts.
These honors aren't the first records that Swift has broken. In 2010, Swift became the youngest artist to win the Grammy award for Album of the Year, nabbing the statue for her sophomore album "Fearless." She went on to break records with the release of her latest album, "Red," which sold more than 1 million copies in its first week on shelves.
Other celebrities who entered the Guinness Book of World Records this year include Betty White, Harry Styles, and DJ Calvin Harris.

Swift wears a white halter-style dress just like Marilyn Monroe's dress in "The Seven Year Itch." Monroe passed away a half-century ago this week, a murky death that remains one of Hollywood's most tantalizing mysteries. But look around: Her legend lives on, more vibrantly than ever. In a twist she surely would have appreciated, this 1950's bombshell has become a 21st-century pop culture phenom. (AP Photo/Dan Steinberg, File)
