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.
UK tourists warned they will face £6 fee to enter 30 countries next summer - full list
manchestereveningnews.co.ukUK holidaymakers heading to Europe next summer could face a seven Euro fee - around £6 - to enter up to 30 countries. The European Union has confirmed on its website that it is launching its visa waiver scheme “in the first half of 2025”.
The European Travel Information and Authorisation Scheme (ETIAS) has been delayed multiple times, but it’s finally expected to come into effect next year.
The ETIAS will apply to visitors from over 60 visa-exempt countries which require the authorisation to enter 30 European countries for a short stay - but it doesn’t guarantee entry.
Once an ETIAS is obtained it will be valid for up to three years, or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. It will enable those eligible to visit any of the EU countries for short-term stays, which are up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
