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.

It's been working for some time on a mobile app that can translate dog body language and sounds to English using machine learning.The only obstacle in the way is that training an AI to understand dogs at this stage requires humans to interpret what a dog's behaviour might mean before feeding this data to the AI.Dogs are actually much better at understanding human language than you might think.According to one study from researchers at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary, dogs can associate objects with language and even learn a vocabulary of 100 words at about the same rate as a baby.The researchers found that six border collies were able to pick out old and new toys by name over a week, and that they could even recall the words after two months.Of course, any dog owner that's ever uttered the dreaded W-A-L-K word can tell you that.One California firm, the Earth Species Project, is even working on AI that could one day help humans decode animal communication for all species.
