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.

Leicester City supporter Amar Raithatha, 26, ignited the blue smoke flare and launched it towards the lower tier area after they scored against Manchester United in April this year.
The flare fell and landed near to the feet of a 69-year-old woman who was sitting in the disabled section of the lower tier.
The woman was ‘engulfed’ in blue smoke which caused her eyes to sting. Manchester Magistrates Court heard that she used water to ‘clean’ her eyes before going for first aid attention.
