Taylor-Swift

Taylor Swift, in full Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13th, 1989 West Reading Pennsylvania U.S.) American pop and country musician and singer whose tales of heartbreak in the early years achieved wide recognition in the beginning of the 21st century. Swift showed an interest in music at an early age and she progressed quickly through roles in the children's theater to her first appearance before the crowd of a thousand. As Swift sang The Star-Spangled Banner in front of a Philadelphia 76ers game at age 11, she was already composing songs. In the following year, she took up guitar. Swift composed original music inspired by the country music of artists such as Shania Twain (now known as the Chicks), and Dixie Chicks. Her material reflected Swift's experiences with tweens alienation. Swift relocated from Pennsylvania together with her parents, to Hendersonville, Tennessee when she reached 13 and decided to spend more time to contacting country labels.
