Taylor-Swift

Taylor Swift, in full Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13 1989 West Reading Pennsylvania U.S.) American pop and country musician and singer whose tales of youthful heartache earned her widespread success in the early 21st century. Swift's passion for music was evident in the early years of her life. From children's plays to singing in front of thousands of people, Swift made rapid progress. She was age 11 when she sang The Star-Spangled Banner before a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game and the following year she began playing guitar and began to write songs. Swift wrote original songs inspired by the country music of musicians like Shania Twain (now known as the Chicks) as well as Dixie Chicks. Her material expressed Swift's feelings about tweens alienation. Swift moved from Pennsylvania with her parents to Hendersonville, Tennessee when she reached 13 and decided to spend more time to contacting country labels.
