| Taylor Swift is the toast of Nashville thanks to the success of her coming-of-age anthem “Tim McGraw” from her self-titled debut album. “I’m still in the ‘Oh my gosh this is really happening’ phase,” she admits. “After all these concerts that I do, people line up and want me to sign things. I still haven’t been able to grasp the fact that if I sign a piece of paper, it might mean something to somebody.” |
 |
| Although Taylor Swift may be new to the recording industry, she already has the nerves and focus of a 10-year vet. "I have tunnel vision as far as this goes," she boldly declares. "I can always keep my eyes on the goal." |

Taylor Alison Swift was born December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania and grew up in the nearby town of Wyomissing. Although her grandmother was a professional opera singer, Taylor’s tastes always ran more toward country and she developed a love for Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton at an early age.
Taylor was given the opportunity to showcase her own vocal chops at the age of 8 when she joined a local children's theater group for a production of Grease. "I was playing the role of Sandy... and it just came out sounding country,” she recalls. “It was all I had listened to so I guess it was just kind of natural. I decided country music was what I needed to be doing."
Through the next few years, Taylor began honing her talent by singing at every venue she could. “Every weekend I would go to festivals and fairs and karaoke contests -- any place I could get up on stage,” she says. That experience clearly paid off, and at the age of 11, she was invited to sing the national anthem in front of thousands of boisterous fans at a Philadelphia 76ers game. |
