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.
Car smashed up in suspected hit and run on 'notorious' Scots road
dailyrecord.co.ukA Scots man says he is no further forward in finding out what happened to his car after it was smashed up in a suspected hit and run while parked on a street.
Tom Hutchison was alerted by a neighbour to the damage at the start of the week. He suspects his car was damaged by another road user, who failed to leave a note, as the street he lives on in Edinburgh is prone to speeding drivers making risky overtakes.
The car was parked on Lower Granton Road between Friday July 29, and Monday August 1, when it is thought to have been hit. He was informed of the incident by a neighbour on Monday and went outside to find huge scrapes on the side of his black Clio and one of the back panels completely ripped off.
So far, no information that could be useful in tracking down the culprit has been obtained by either Tom or the police. Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Tom said he suspects the damage was caused by a driver making a risky overtake on the fast road, where he said accidents tend to happen quite frequently.
