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.
'Dilapidated' Kelvin House in Paisley faces demolition as 34 new flats in the pipeline

Renfrewshire Council wants permission to flatten C-listed Kelvin House in Marshall’s Lane – arguing that it would not be “economically viable” to keep it.Planning documents said an offer was received from property development company Nixon Blue which would see the location used for “high quality” riverside flats and ground floor commercial units.Initial proposals include the adjoining B-listed Forbes Place being kept and refurbished to provide 16 of the apartments, the former depot razed and replaced by eight and 10 located on the footprint of Kelvin House.A letter signed by George Hunter, the local authority’s chief economic and regeneration officer, said: “It is not economically viable to retain Kelvin House due to its severely dilapidated condition, demonstrated lack of interest, anticipated development value and lack of a suitable reuse option.”He added that knocking the building down would deliver “significant benefits” to the wider community.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.Available on both Android and Apple.
