Taylor Swift's History

By Cindy Lou Jackson

Born in the town of Wyomissing, PA on December 13th in 1989, Taylor Swift made her entrance into the world. Raised on a tree farm, Taylor was influence by her grandmother who was also a singer of opera. She was introduced and loved many country artists like Garth Brooks and Leeann Rimes. She was hooked at an early age.

Taylor's family was well aware of her love and determination to become a successful country singer from a very early age. She was always precocious and knew her own mind. They were very supportive of her and would make many trips to Nashville to try and help her get her foot in the door .

Taylor was singing in public at the tender age of only 10 years old and writing material and songs at only 12. It is unusual for a child to show such focus and determination at such a young age and her parents were just as determined to help her along.

Taylor was the youngest person ever signed, at the age of 14, to be signed to a publishing contract. Her family then made the move to Hendersonville, TN just outside of Nashville to allow her access to insiders. During this period, Taylor wrote her first hit while sitting in her freshman math class. One wonders what would have transpired if she had any interest in math.

Taylor got her big break when she came to the attention of Scott Borchetta, who signed her to his label Big Machine Records. She released her debut album in November in the year 2006 to rave reviews. It would go on to sell over 2 million copies and ensuring her sophomore album's production.

As if all of those other firsts weren't enough, Taylor became the first female solo artist who has had a hand in writing every single song on her debut album. Amazing for anyone, but especially amazing given her age of 16.

Taylor is a fantastic live entertainer and has gotten many positive reviews for her live performances. She has toured with Brad Paisley and in 2009 will be seen in many cities with Rascal Flatts.

Taylor has much to look forward to. She will undoubtedly continue a meteoric rise to even further heights. If she can continue to grow as an artist and give her fans more of the Taylor they love, there is no telling how far this ambitious young starlet can go. - 18418
