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.

Beyoncé has been blamed for Sweden’s inflation rise after the start of her ‘Renaissance’ tour in the country last month.The megastar’s decision to commence her huge world tour in Sweden created a surge in restaurant and hotel pricing in the area as thousands arrived for the show.

Due to this, Sweden reported higher-than-expected inflation of 9.7% in May.Michael Grahn, the chief economist at Danske Bank, the biggest bank in neighbouring Denmark, told CNN that the inflation increase was “definitely not normal.

Stars come here all the time, [but] we seldom see effects like this.”In an email to BBC, Grahn wrote “I wouldn’t … blame Beyoncé for [the] high inflation print, but her performance and global demand to see her perform in Sweden apparently added a little to it.”He added that fans traveled to the country for the two sold out ‘Renaissance’ dates due to a “very weak” Swedish currency and concert tickets being relatively cheaper than elsewhere.

Grahn also mentioned that “There are a limited number of hotels and accommodation in the Stockholm area,” adding that hotels further away from the capital had raised prices as a result.
