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.

As well as this, it also cut the chances of prediabetes by 15%.This is because the hot drink - which is often fermented in China - creates a chemical reaction in the body that improves the ability to resist insulin and control blood sugar.The research was carried out by scientists from the University of Adelaide in Australia and Southeast University in China, and reported in the journal Diabetologia.
The experts discovered that compared to non-tea drinkers, people who drank dark tea every day were found to have less chances of developing diabetes - which is said to affect one in 16 people in the UK, the majority with type 2. “The substantial health benefits of tea, including a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, have been reported in several studies over recent years, but the mechanisms underlying these benefits have been unclear”, said the study’s co-lead author Associate Professor Tongzhi Wu from the University of Adelaide and The Hospital Research Foundation Group Mid-Career Fellow.“Our findings hint at the protective effects of habitual tea drinking on blood sugar management via increased glucose excretion in urine, improved insulin resistance and thus better control of blood sugar.
These benefits were most pronounced among daily dark tea drinkers.”In the study, 1,923 adults living across eight provinces in China were monitored - 436 participants were living with diabetes and 352 with prediabetes, and 1,135 had normal
