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.

It was really touching that he came along.“It was supposed to be a 45-minute set, but I thought that would be a bit long for one guy to be shouting words at you, so I said that I would perform my book Voodoo Daze with Jason Golaup because it is all about acid house and rave.“I thought that would fit well with a music festival.“I covered subjects like reggae gigs and the Barrowlands.
It got good laughs where they were supposed to, which is always encouraging.“You could see afterwards that both of us were so relieved that it went so well.”This was the second time Stephen had played the Belladrum festival after playing it in 2019, and he still can’t get over the fact he was on the same bill as so many big names, he said: “Being on the same bill was a bit mental.“At least it wasn’t the same stage as that would be heart attack material.“The good thing is that although you’re getting paid, you also get a free ticket, so we saw some
