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.
The 300m high beauty spot called The Cloud with awesome views and rare double sunsets
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA drive away from Manchester in the depths of the Cheshire countryside lies a vantage point that truly lives up to its name.
The Cloud, in Congleton, is a 300m-high peak that boasts 'stunning, panoramic views' for walkers. It is also said that the unique position of the viewpoint allows visitors to witness a double sunset - a rare astro-geographical phenomenon in which the sun appears to set twice in the same evening - with the occurrence first recorded in writing in 1686 by Robert Plot in his book The Natural History Of Stafford-shire.
The landscape is also very rare because like Cheshire's Bickerton, which is also blanketed in purple heather, it is one of few remaining lowland heaths in the region.
Since 1800, 84 per cent of Britain’s lowland heath has been lost. And the Cloud's significance has meant that it has been designated as a conservation area of Special Biological Interest.
