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.
New images show how patch of grassland will be transformed into 'heart of Ancoats'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukResidents in one of Manchester's trendiest neighbourhoods are set to get something they've wanted for ages - a rejuvenated park.
Plans to build a ‘heart of Ancoats’ have been formally submitted by Manchester City Council, which it says ‘will act as the green focal point for the area’.
Ancoats Green currently is a patch of grass around Wadeford Close, near to Oldham Road and Poland Street. Revitalising Ancoats Green forms one element of the project to improve public space in the neighbourhood, along with Jersey Green and public realm on Prussia Street.
In all, the project will cost £32.7million, with £28.1m coming from Homes England and another £4.7m from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority through the Brownfield Housing Fund.
