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.

A comment underneath read: "Good luck!" Less than a year later, Sebastian was dead. He could never have imagined the horror in store for him as he started his new life in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
Sebastian's torture began just three months after his arrival. For the short time Sebastian lived with his mother and stepfather Andrezj Latoszewski, he was treated like an inconvenience and "punished." He was seriously assaulted - kicked, kneed, stamped on, punched, slapped and dragged around, and then forced to carry out exercises.
Sebastian was also ordered to sit on a stool and face a wall for hours at a time and was controlled so incessantly, his mother could watch what he was doing at home through an app on her phone.
