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 mum is warning other parents after her two-year-old son choked on a lollipop - as he was sat on her lap
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA mum-of-two has warned others after her son choked on a lollipop as he was sat on her lap. Amy Mantle, 33, said that her two-year-old son Baker found himself struggling to breathe because of the sweet, despite her keeping her eyes on him the whole time.
Baker was with Amy during a hair appointment on April 28 and he was given the sweet while he waited for his mother to get her hair done.
Amy became concerned when she saw that the sweet had come off the end of the lolly stick. It was only when she saw that Baker couldn’t breathe that she realised what had happened and, when she couldn’t remove the sweet from her son’s throat, she began to panic.
Luckily, her hairdresser, Gemma Fairhurst, came to the rescue by holding Baker upside down and repeatedly hitting his back to dislodge the lollipop.
