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 popularity in the first decade of the 20th century. Swift started to exhibit an desire to work in the industry as early as age. Her career progressed rapidly through the play of kids, until her first appearance in front of a large crowd. At the age of 11, she performed The Star-Spangled Banner before a Philadelphia 76ers basketball match and the following year she began playing guitar, and began writing songs. Swift was inspired by 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 that she felt around the age of thirteen. Swift's family moved in Tennessee Pennsylvania at the age of thirteen so that she could spend more time pursuing country music labels in Nashville.
