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.
Plum and raspberry squares with lemon thyme recipe
telegraph.co.ukThe batter for this cake – which is made by simply stirring the ingredients together – is one I bake again and again, flavouring it in different ways.
As it’s made with oil, rather than butter, it keeps well – cakes made with butter become drier a few days after they’re baked.
Try making this with sliced nectarines or apricots, depending on what’s available, or replace the raspberries with blueberries.
You can go for lavender or rosemary instead of thyme, but they are both stronger-tasting, so go easy on the quantity. Don’t use more fruit than suggested or the batter will become too wet from the juice that seeps out, and won’t cook properly.
