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.
Now that it has been confirmed the energy price cap will soar to £3,549 in October, many families will be on the lookout for financial support during the winter months.
Fortunately, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will begin dishing out the first half of its £650 cost of living payment for Tax Credits recipients from tomorrow (September 2).
The payment, worth £326, will make up the first half of the cost of living payment for Tax Credit recipients with the second expected in the winter of this year.
The tax-free payment will have no effect on a claimant's benefit cap or alter their existing benefit awards. Eligible recipients will receive the payment automatically, meaning there will be no need to apply to the DWP or your local council.
