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.

Let’s hope Dean has shown them that he can perform. He’s had great experience, including the disqualification, and that’s all part of it.“Hopefully he has done GB proud and he will be in their thoughts, so if there’s anything else coming up he’ll be considered.” Eileen added: “Dean didn’t get much of a chance to see Jerusalem, he really was in competition rules.“They weren’t all at the stadium when others were competing because they had to stay out of the sun.“That’s a wee bit of a shame, but it’s totally understandable – you don’t want them getting sunburned or sick, and not able to perform.
It was probably only in the last day or two that, if they had friends competing, they were allowed to go and support them.“He knew in his mind what was the right thing to do, and he definitely enjoyed the experience.”Dean isn’t sitting back, however, and was immediately back in training.Eileen explained: “Even though the schools are on
