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.

"For example, they pay for exactly what they used in that month and do not build up a credit ahead of winter," the regulator added.
Energy UK, a trade association that represents more than 100 energy suppliers and generators, added that direct debits were "reviewed periodically" with suppliers taking into account a number of factors including current tariffs, estimated usage and recent meter reads. "It is, therefore, possible some customers' direct debts will change in advance of October," the company said in a statement. "All suppliers must, however, ensure that direct debits are set correctly based on all relevant information available at the time of review, and that they communicate any changes in a way that helps consumers understand their payments
