Taylor-Swift

Taylor Swift's real name Taylor Swift is Taylor Alison Swift. Taylor Swift was born on December 13th of 1989, in West Reading Pennsylvania U.S.A. Taylor Swift became famous as a performer and song writer in the early part of 2001, with stories of pain and heartbreak. Swift showed an interest in the arts at a very young age, and quickly moved from roles in children's theatre and her first public appearance in front of the crowd of a thousand. Swift was just 11 when she first performed The Star-Spangled Banner at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball match. In the following year she started writing her own songs and picked up the guitar. She drew inspiration from the country music artists such as Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks (now the Chicks) Swift crafted original material that reflected her experiences of growing up in a world that was dominated by tweens. Swift's parents moved her from Pennsylvania to Tennessee at the age of 13 after selling their Pennsylvania farm. This allowed Swift to be more active in courting labels for traditional music from Nashville.
