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.
You can now experience how death feels through virtual reality
nypost.comcould be like like as you’re dying. Artist Shaun Gladwell’s show, “Passing Electrical Storms,” at Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria can conjure the process of dying through “medical technologies,” according to the official description. “At once meditative and unsettling, this interactive work guides participants through a simulated de-escalation of life, from cardiac arrest to brain death,” reads the exhibit’s outline on the gallery site.
Gladwell described the experience as “moving away from yourself and then floating off into the giant universe” in an interview with The Australian this week.“By simulating death as an experience in its last few minutes, it’s a meditation on the ephemerality of individual life,” Gladwell told the outlet. “For me, it’s not all gloomy but a spectrum of colors and moods.”He said that his latest work has been inspired by philosophers such as Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault and David Chalmers.However, he also admitted that his work has changed because of his 11-year-old son, Zeno.“My work has shifted seismically because of him,” Gladwell said. “I think about death in a different sense; it’s personal now because I see life as being so dear.”When you get to the exhibit, gallerygoers are instructed to lie down on a fake hospital bed and are hooked up to heart rate monitors, according to The Daily Star.
Visitors are able to leave at any time if it gets too uncomfortable, though, and there are even staff members on hand to “pull you out of it,” according to the outlet.On TikTok, one user named Marcus even showed off the exhibit to their followers, taking a video clip of the room where it all happens.
