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.
Mum sparks debate after admitting she is 'uneasy' about son going to friend's sleepover
dailyrecord.co.ukA mum has sparked debate after saying she feels 'uneasy' about her son going to his friend's house for a sleepover. The woman said her 12-year-old son has been invited to his pal's house to stay with five other friends - but she is reluctant to let him go.
The mum says she is unsure because the children will be staying in a holiday annex - which is separate from the main house. Posting on Mumsnet, she said: "Dd is 12 and has been invited on a sleepover at a new friends house with 5 others.
They are going to be staying in her friends parents holiday annex which is next door to the main house. This has made me feel a little uneasy but I am overprotective so wondering how others would feel." Some mums responded to the post agreeing they would not be comfortable with that situation either.One said: "No.
My daughter is of similar age and I have no problem with her going out with her friends to events but not for sleepovers."Another agreed she would need to know more first, saying: "At age 12 sleepovers are perfectly ok, I would ask about communication between the annex and the house and what security measures will be in place before I would would agree in those circumstances.""I would be uneasy if it had its own entrance.
