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.
New app launched to help households manage energy and cash in on incentives
dailyrecord.co.ukA new app has been launched to help households keep on top of their energy consumption. It comes after energy prices rose at the beginning of October, with an average household bill jumping from from £1,971 to £2,500.
The equiwatt app will help people take control of appliances by linking up to smart meters, smart plugs and smart EV chargers.
It will then ask users to reduce consumption during peak energy hours, which could lead to money-back on bills. As reported by the Express, users who choose to link the app with their smart meters will be able to support the National Grid demand flexibility scheme.
The energy bill discount plan will start in November and will see households benefit from £3 per kWh for off-peak energy use.
