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.
Half an hour from Stockport, the tranquil secret garden with views stretching for miles
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA ‘secret garden’ a thirty minute drive from Stockport offers an ideal beauty spot for a relaxing stroll on a Sunday afternoon.
Hare Hill, near Alderley Edge in Cheshire, is a tranquil woodland with a walled garden at its heart. Visitors can see Manchester’s skyscrapers towering through the sky from the garden, bordered with rare and exotic rhododendrons and azaleas.
A number of ponds can be found dotted around Hare Hill garden too, buzzing with dragonflies and damselflies. Small in size, the garden is not very well known compared to other National Trust sites, and also features wooden carvings of hares and metal sculptures of horses.
Families can also explore the play area which is a haven for children, and take a visit to the little charity bookshop, while bird watchers can head for the bird hide to spot blue tits, tree creepers, and even a woodpecker from time to time.
