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.

"I think the worst part was I was with my so called friends, they walked away really fast and let it happen.
I think they were scared they'd end up getting hit as well." The woman says she never told her parents of the school because she was "too ashamed" and "blamed herself". "I don't understand why she'd try to friend request me but part of me actually wants to accept her," she wrote. "So I can send a message asking if she remembers what she did to me.
Or let her find out from my page that I now have a lovely family, own a very successful, profitable business, drive a Porsche and have a damn good life. "Both are pointless so I'll do neither, I am best to just block her.
