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.

Meanwhile, media firm MRC has announced it is shelving a documentary it has already completed about the rapper.In terms of West’s business partnerships in the fashion domain, they were already falling apart even before the more recent controversies.
It was confirmed in September that West’s alliance with Gap was coming to an end, while Adidas recently said it was reviewing its long-standing partnership with the rapper.According to sources who have spoken to Bloomberg, the sportswear firm could confirm as soon as today that it is ending its business relationship with West’s Yeezy brand.It seems likely that the list of companies either cutting ties with or publicly criticising West will only continue to grow as the week progresses..
