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.

nypost.comtaking a break as a group to pursue solo projects.However, news surfaced on Thursday that the band is not breaking up and the hiatus phrase was a simple mistranslation, according to their management team HYBE.A rep for the boys told The Post, “To be clear, they are not on hiatus but will take time to explore some solo projects at this time and remain active in various different formats.”While the members will still be undertaking solo work, they won’t stop collaborating together.BTS released a video in Korean earlier this week to announce the next stage of their careers when they reportedly said they would be going on a “temporary hiatus,” but promised they would “return someday.”Band member RM said in the video that it was time to work on their own so they can grow as people.“I always thought that BTS was different from other groups, but the problem with K-pop and the whole idol system is that they don’t give you time to mature.
You have to keep producing music and keep doing something,” RM said.“We can’t help but think of our fans no matter what, we want to be the kind of artists that are remembered by our fans.
I think now we’re starting to think about what kind of artists we each want to be remembered by our fans,” member Jimin added.
He continued, “I think that’s why we’re going through a rough patch right now, we’re trying to find our identity and that’s an exhausting and long process.”Member Jung Kook also went live on the streaming app V Live on Thursday to assure fans that the group will continue to work together, even as they focus more on individual work.BTS’ stock also allegedly went down on Wednesday following the supposed hiatus announcement, Variety noted.
