Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
What was supposed to be a fun activity has ended someone’s life. Madelyn “Madie” Nicpon, a 20-year-old Tufts University lacrosse player majoring in biopsychology, has lost her life after choking on a hot dog during an eating contest over the weekend.

During the contest, she fell unconscious after choking on a piece of food. She was rushed to Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge before being transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital where she passed away on Sunday.
It’s unclear if she ever regained consciousness. How devastating! Related: Alexa PenaVega Reacts To ‘Ugly’ Comments After Accidentally Severing
