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.

Furthermore, the Z weighed a mere 1,560lb, while Panhard claimed the body created by Louis Bionierhada drag coefficient of only 0.28.
Unfortunately, the Z’s aluminium bodywork meant it was also vastly more expensive than models from French rivals Peugeot or Simca.In 1955 Panhard’s financial issues resulted in Citroën taking a 25 per cent stake in the business.
Two years later, the Dyna was being produced with a much cheaper steel body, then by June 1959 it was facelifted as the PL17 with extra chrome fittings.
