Taylor Swift

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.

TUI cabin crew and staff will stop referring to customers as ‘ladies and gentlemen’ on board flights. The holiday firm said that people flying with them will instead be referred to as ‘passengers’ - which is a gender neutral term.

Officials say that the move is designed to create a more inclusive environment for everyone on board the flight. A similar move was made by British Airways last year.

In a statement, TUI said: “As a truly global business we’re committed to making sure our colleagues and customers feel that TUI is an inclusive environment and always feel welcome with us.“We therefore encourage all our pilots and crew to ensure all public announcements onboard our aircraft are inclusive and this has been the case for a number of years.”Transport for London also stopped using the traditional term in 2017 to ensure that all passengers felt welcome.

LGBT charity Stonewall welcomed and referred to ‘ladies and gentlemen’ as ‘outdated’.In a statement issued at the time of TfL’s announcement, Stonewall said: “Language is extremely important to the lesbian, gay, bi and trans community, and the way we use it can help ensure all people feel included.“We welcome gender neutral announcements to be rolled out across TfL as it will ensure that everyone - no matter who they identify as - feels accounted for.” Don't miss the latest news from around Scotland and beyond - Sign up to our daily newsletter here.
