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.
Mum creates incredible DIY faux panelling on bedroom wall for just £6
dailystar.co.ukDIY-fan has revealed how she gave her bathroom a classy new look for a tiny £6 by building her own faux-panelling.Joanne McCabe, 45, from Swansea, loved the panelling trend that swept across social media last year, but couldn’t afford to buy the wood.Luckily, she was given some old timber by a neighbour that they were going to throw in the skip and went on to try the craze out for herself.She already owned a sander and handsaw, as well as some old paint and wood filler sitting in her shed so all she spent was £5.98 on two tubes of No More Nails glue.
Joanne told money-saving community LatestDeals.co.uk: "I came up with the idea because as a single parent, money can be tight and I have always loved the look of panelling but never had the money to afford to buy the wood. “Then last year a neighbour across the road gave me some wood he was going to take to the tip and asked if I wanted it.“It sat in my garden for months then I thought 'why not give it a go?
If it doesn't work I've wasted no money!'"The mum-of-three said: “I didn't have a design in mind so I worked it around the socket on my wall so that I wasn't left with little cuts."The first thing I did was measure the middle of my wall and propped a length of wood against the wall."I did the bottom first, then the sides, then the top so it looked like one giant square.“Then I glued my long middle sections to the wall and from there that's where I worked out how big I wanted my squares.“In the in-between sections I went for two smaller squares and one larger square just to be a bit different as in most panelling I have seen, all the squares are the same size.”Joanne claims the only part of the process she didn’t enjoy was sanding each piece of wood until smooth.
