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.

One was captured in Felixstowe, Suffolk, on April 29 - the first confirmed sighting in the UK this year.Beekeeping associations in Devon have distributed posters warning of the potential invaders to caravan parks, marinas and parish notice boards asking the public to check cars and boats in case they have unwittingly brought them back from the Continent.A spokesman said unsuspecting travellers could be bringing hidden Asian hornets into Britain in their vehicles and luggage, thus inadvertently releasing queen hornets that will hibernate and establish new nests here.So far this Spring 20 hornet nests have been found on Jersey and a dozen on Guernsey.Hundreds of homes on the islands - and neighbouring Alderney and Sark - have had traps fitted to swat the swarms.But the operation to remove them from the islands could in itself drive them north to Britain.
