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.
Babymetal announce ‘silent mosh pits’ at Japanese shows
completemusicupdate.comBabymetal have announced that they will be including quiet areas at the Japan shows that kick off their world tour for people uncomfortable with the more raucous side of metal audiences.
What they’re slightly clunkily referring to as their “silent mosh’sh pit”, they say, “is a designated area for those who have small children [or] who are not confident in their physical strength”.There are rules if you want to stand in this area, with a post on the band’s Facebook page explaining that you should “refrain from activities such as shouting, cheering, talking loudly, or any other behaviour that may be an inconvenience to other customers”.
However, “singing/reacting at a level where only the person next to you can hear is acceptable”.While it might seem easy to mock the idea of people wanting to be quiet at a metal show, there are numerous reasons why people might be fans of the genre but still not massively enjoy having audience members shout and shove them around during a gig.Being a child or fearing injury are two possible reasons identified by Babymetal and their management, but many neurodivergent people also find the more chaotic side of being in a metal audience difficult, despite enjoying the music.
Having this area available opens up the opportunity to attend the Babymetal show to more people and allows fans to enjoy the band in whatever way they wish.There will also be mandatory face mask rules in place – Japan still being cautious about the spread of COVID-19.
