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.

How much your pay could rise as major National Insurance change comes into force today

A major change to National Insurance (NI) payments comes into force today which will boost the pay packets of workers across the UK.

From Wednesday, July 6, the threshold at which people make NI contributions will increase. Starting thresholds for National Insurance payments will rise from £9,880 to £12,570 from today.

The move follows a controversial 1.25 percentage point increase in NI in April, to help pay for health and social care, which came amid a string of other bill hikes, including a jump in the energy price cap.

Today's change means that people will be allowed to earn a higher salary before they start paying NI contributions. It is hoped the move will ease the cost of living crisis for those struggling with bills, but critics have warned that the change will not make a huge difference to monthly take-home pay.
