Taylor-Swift

Taylor Swift, in full Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13 1989 West Reading Pennsylvania U.S.) American pop and country music singer and songwriter, whose stories of youthful heartache earned her widespread success in the early 21st century. Swift had a passion for music since a young time. She swiftly rose through in the ranks, beginning as a child actor and then performing before an audience of thousands. At the age of 11, she sang The Star-Spangled Banner before a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game. in the next year, she picked up the guitar and began writing songs. Swift took inspiration from artists from the country genre, such as Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks and, more recently, the Chicks in order to write original music which reflected the alienation she felt at 13 years old. Swift's family relocated to Tennessee from Pennsylvania at the age of thirteen so she would have more time exploring the country music label in Nashville.
