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.
Netflix to Launch New Password-Sharing Payment Plan in 5 Countries
variety.comTodd Spangler NY Digital EditorNetflix is trying a new way to get paid by password-borrowing freeloaders.The company is rolling out an option in five Latin American countries under which customers can enable access from an additional home legitimately, for an extra monthly fee.Starting next month, Netflix will launch an “add a home” feature in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
That will add the ability for anyone in each additional home to stream Netflix on any device, at a price lower than a full standalone membership.That comes after the streamer in March rolled out an “add extra member” feature in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, which lets customers pay a monthly fee to let individuals outside their households access Netflix.
Netflix estimates that customers share their login credentials — in violation of its terms of service — with more than 100 million non-paying households worldwide, including over 30 million in the U.S.
and Canada.The “widespread account sharing between households undermines our long-term ability to invest in and improve our service,” Chengyi Long, Netflix director of product innovation, wrote in a blog post announcing the expansion.In the five new markets, the cost for Netflix members to buy an additional “home” for streaming access will be: 219 pesos per month per home in Argentina; and $2.99 per month per home in the Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
