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.
Jaeger to axe 103 jobs and shut 13 stores as it searches for a buyer
mirror.co.ukFashion chain Jaeger has said it will axe 103 jobs and shut 13 stores, a week after falling into administration. The retailer said it has cut 47 in-store positions and 56 head office and distribution roles as part of a restructuring.
The chain was placed into administration last week by owner, retail billionaire Philip Day. Administrators have said they will continue to search for a buyer for the business but made the cuts as Jaeger was "unable to sustain its current structure".
Jaeger has reduced its stores estate to 63 outlets and concessions, and now employs 244 staff as a result. Day hired specialists from FRP Advisory to oversee the insolvency of Jaeger and sister business Peacocks, which operates 423 stores with 4,369 staff.
