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 pictures show what new £135 million town centre redevelopment in Wigan could look like
manchestereveningnews.co.ukThe controversial £135 million development of what is described as a ‘Multi Media Centre’ in the former home of the Galleries in Wigan has been officially submitted for approval - with new pictures to show what it could look like.
The plans for the town centre site have been on the table since an initial planning application was given the green light in 2021.
This proposal has been subject to criticism from both councillors and residents alike, all believing the cost to be too much during a cost of living crisis - culminating in a recent 4.99 per cent council tax rise.
Currently the old site is being demolished and now Wigan Council are requesting for permission, alongside contractor Cityheart for permission to built the 84,000 sq ft site.
