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.
JK Rowling address tweet by trans activists won't face police action
dailyrecord.co.ukPolice have said they will not take any action over a tweet from trans rights activists which saw them pose outside JK Rowling's home, revealing her address.
The tweet included the group carrying placards targeting the Harry Potter author with slogans such as "trans liberation now", however Police Scotland confirmed it wouldn't be treated as criminal.
The 56-year-old had got in touch with officers following the photograph taken at her Edinburgh home in November but no criminality was established following enquiries, according to Edinburgh Live.
Rowling, who has been criticised for her views on the transgender community, said the photo made her a victim of 'doxxing' – the act of publishing private personal information about an individual or organisation, usually online, to enable others to take action.At the time, she had tweeted in response to the activists, saying: “I have to assume [they] thought doxxing me would intimidate me out of speaking up for women’s sex-based rights.“They should have reflected on the fact that I’ve now received so many death threats I could paper the house with them, and I haven’t stopped speaking out.“Perhaps, and I’m just throwing this out there, the best way to prove your movement isn’t a threat to women, is to stop stalking, harassing and threatening us.”The campaigners deleted the photo the day after it was posted, they said the decision was made after they received “serious and threatening transphobic messages”.
