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.
Thomas Cook issues warning as Spain's new 'six drinks a day' rule kicks in for tourists
dailyrecord.co.ukThomas Cook has warned Brits of a new law limiting drinking in the Balearic Islands, including travel hotspots like Ibiza, Majorca and Menorca.
A 'six drinks a day' rule is imposed on people on all-inclusive holidays in a crackdown on excessive drinking as one Spanish official called the behaviour of some British tourists 'embarrassing'.
The law caps the drinks given on these package trips to three at lunch and three at dinner, which means no free drinks by the pool, the Mirror reports.
It comes as the new tourism law ended free bars, happy hour and drinks deals on the islands, as well banning the construction of new hotels for four years.The British Embassy in Spain has also warned UK travellers they could be fined up to £85,000 for attending 'illegal parties' in Ibiza and Majorca after a number of serious accidents.An email from Thomas Cook reminded travellers with holidays booked about the new alcohol limit.As a result of the new rule, an email sent out to customers booked on these trips said: "Please be advised that a decree has been issued by the Balearic Government on a new restriction for All Inclusive meal option."There is a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per person per day that can be served and these drinks will be provided only during lunch and dinner (3 each)."Please be aware that Magalluf, El Arenal, Playa de Palma in Mallorca and Sant Antoni in Ibiza, there is new restriction on All Inclusive."
