Taylor-Swift

Taylor Swift's real name is Taylor Alison Swift. Taylor Swift was born on the 13th, 1989 West Reading, Pennsylvania U.S.A. Taylor Swift became famous as a performer and song writer in the early part of 2001 when she began sharing her stories of heartache. Swift began to develop an interest in music in her early years and quickly progressed from playing in kids' shows, before making her first appearance front of an audience. In 2011, Swift, at the age of 11, performed The Star-Spangled Banner during a Philadelphia 76ers' basketball game. The year after that she started writing her own music. Swift wrote original songs which was influenced by country performers such as Shania Twain (now known as the Chicks), and Dixie Chicks. Her material expressed Swift's feelings about tweens being apathetic. At the age of 13, Swift's parents decided to sell their property in Pennsylvania and moved into Hendersonville Tennessee so she could devote more of her time in courting the country music labels within the vicinity of Nashville.
