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.

He was with younger brother Richard when they found Jeanna, 51, in her bedroom which had been left like “a bombsite”. He told the High Court in Glasgow: “She was covered in blood. “The top part of her skull was missing.

The allegation includes claims Maher repeatedly struck his wife with a mallet or similar item. Stephen told how Maher had earlier answered the door after he and Richard had arrived home.
