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.

This will allow us to do big stunts that grab mainstream media attention in Scotland."It is understood that the fascists raised around £1600 on the page, with one person who donated £1k writing: "Woke up a year ago and we're in this fight for life now.
This is to help wake our people up. White power."The sick campaign, shared on platform GiveSendGo, has since been unpublished, with the website telling the Record they do not support hate speech.Founder Jacob Wells said:
