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.
Hackers Interrupt Iranian State TV News Bulletin In Protest Following Death Of Mahsa Amini
deadline.comThe state broadcaster of Iran appeared to be hacked on air this weekend, including a news bulletin being interrupted with a protest.
On screen, the news was interrupted for a few seconds at 1800 local time by the image of a mask, followed by a depiction of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with a target on his head, plus flames around him.
The BBC reported that one of the captions, created by a group calling itself “Adalat Ali” (“Ali’s Justice”) read “join us and rise up,” while another said “our youths’ blood is dripping off your paws.” The hack follows weeks of protests in Iran, following the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini – a 22-year-old woman arrested for allegedly wearing her hijab improperly.
Her death on September 16 sparked protests across Iran, rare in the country where the Ayatollah has long held firm control, but showing no sign of going away, despite more than 150 reported deaths.
