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.

You can’t free wheel down a hill on an exercise bike,” she said.Eileen hopes that a major push in the first week of February, while she’s on holiday from her job as programme director for the West Coast Partnership, will see her reach her distance and cash targets.She is confident of achieving the miles - but admits that, financially, a lot depends on the people who are following her efforts on Crowdfunder online.
