Taylor Swift

Hello everyone. How are you? 

Today I want to tell you about Taylor Swift. 

She is my favorite singer. And she is beautiful woman.

She is a woman who deals with charity.

Let's go...

Taylor Swift: Childhood

Taylor Swift was born in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania and now lives in Hendersonville, Tennessee. Taylor's grandmother was a trained opera singer and Taylor cites her grandmother as one of her primary influences, along with LeAnn Rimes and Dolly Parton.

Taylor Swift began performing locally and writing her own material around the age of 10. She sang in karaoke contests, at festivals and fairs. When she was 11, Swift handed copies of her demo tape to all of the receptionists on Music Row in Nashville. 

The Swift family eventually moved to a suburb of Nashville in order to aid their daughter's burgeoning career. 

 Taylor Swift: Music Career

Swift's debut single was entitled 'Tim McGraw' and was released in 2006. Later that year, she released her eponymous debut album. 

In May 2007, Swift performed 'Tim McGraw' at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Tim McGraw himself was in the audience at the time. Since that performance, Taylor Swift has been an opening act for both Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on the Soul2Soul 2007 tour.

The second song to be released from the Taylor Swift album was 'Teardrops on My Guitar'. The track reached number two in the Billboard Country Chart. In October 2007, Taylor Swift became the youngest artist ever to win the Nashville Songwriters Association's Songwriter / Artist of the year.

 

Taylor's third single, 'Our Song' spent six weeks at number one on the Country charts.

In October 2007, Swift released Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection.

The album featured covers of Christmas classics, as well as self-penned tracks. Swift was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy but lost out to Amy Winehouse in 2008.

Taylor Swift's second studio album proper was released in November 2008. Entitled Fearless, the album debuted at number one on the main Billboard 200 album chart.

 The lead single from the album was 'Love Story' and was accompanied by a music video that was based on the story of Romeo and Juliet.
