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 young heartache achieved widespread recognition in the beginning of the 20th century. Swift discovered a love for music at an early stage and progressed swiftly through roles in the children's theater and her first public appearance in front of an audience of tens of thousands. Swift was eleven years old when she performed The Star-Spangled Banner at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game. In the following year she started writing her own songs, and also picked up the guitar. Swift took inspiration from artists who played country music, like Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks and, more recently, the Chicks in order to write original music that reflected the loneliness she experienced at the age of 13. Swift's family relocated in Tennessee Pennsylvania when she was thirteen so she would have longer pursuing country music labels in Nashville.
