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.
Paramore’s Hayley Williams Gives Health Update After Canceling Tour: My Lungs Aren’t ‘Healing Quickly’
usmagazine.comParamore’s Hayley Williams is taking a break from touring due to an ongoing lung infection.“After my lung infection forced us to postpone 4 shows, I was hoping a week off of performing and a strict medicine routine would allow my body to heal enough to finish off this tour strong,” Williams, 34, wrote in an Instagram statement on Thursday, August 10.Noting that she had been doing “everything” to avoid rescheduling more shows and “fight this infection,” Williams said her condition is now “past the point of wanting to push through to put on a good show for all of you.”She continued: “I’m now risking long term damage and I need to pay attention to my body.
With that in mind and with a heavy heart, we have to cancel our remaining shows in both Portland and Salt Lake City. Refunds will be available at point of purchase.”Williams concluded her statement by apologizing to fans who have been affected by the This Is Why Tour’s previous postponements and new cancellations. “I physically can not go on,” she explained. “I know this isn’t great news for anyone.
Thank you so much for your continued support.”Several fans shared their support for Williams in the comments section, with one user writing, “Your health is all we care about right now.” Another fan commented, “I speak for many of us when I say we would rather you heal up and be safe for the future than destroy yourself for a tour date.
