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.

"But there’s a masochist side to me that really wants to experience that.That’s what it’s about; putting your head above the parapet sometimes and if it scares you, that’s good." Roman announced earlier this month that he was leaving the Capital Breakfast show after 10 years at the station.The 31-year-old said that it had been a "massive" decision but that he knew it was "time to leave".
