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.

The Perthshire pupils visited all the landmarks depicted in the mural to create sketches and pupil council leaders were tasked with choosing the final drawings for inclusion.
The completed piece is a montage of the finalists’ work along with a scroll explaining the mural to one side and Kinnoull’s Playground Charter to the other.The school mascot, Kinnoulla the Koala, has been incorporated into the work with every pupil’s fingerprint used as their signature in her body pattern.
