Country singer Taylor Swift started the year as Billboard's top moneymaker for 2011. At year's end, she was featured on the soundtrack for "The Hunger Games," one of the year's hottest movies, and her album "Red" had the biggest sales week for any album in a decade. Swift also got cozy with a Kennedy (18-year-old Conor Kennedy, the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) and began dating a member of the year's hottest boy band, One Direction.
