Taylor Swift Biography

Taylor Swift is a US-based singer and songwriter focused on two genres: pop music and country music. She was given the name Taylor Alison Swift and was born in the 13th of December 1989. In 2006, Swift launched her very first single entitled �Tim McGraw" which held the 6th spot on Billboard�s Country Charts. In just a few months after her single�s release, Taylor introduced her self-titled debut album which consisted of a total of five hit singles as those were included in Billboard�s Country Chart. Swift�s most popular single to date is "Love Story" which is considered as the very first country track to become a chart topper in the Mainstream Top 40 chart. Swift was born in Pennsylvania, born to parents Scott Swift and Andrea Swift. She has a younger sibling named Austin. As early as the age of 10, Taylor started creating songs as well as performing at singing contests. She also became part of Kirk Cremer's TheatreKids Live! Cremer's mother, one time, saw Taylor perform and suggested that she focus on country music as opposed to theater acting. At age fifteen, RCA Records offered her work, but Swift rejected because the label did not say yes to Taylor recording her own compositions. Eventually, Swift landed a deal with Big Machine Records after Scott Borchetta, (from the said label), became interested in Taylor�s talent after watching her perform at The Bluebird Caf�. Taylor�s first single �Tim McGraw� was released in 2006, inspired by her favorite country artist of the same name. Taylor�s debut album was released next, with most of the songs written by Taylor herself. The album topped Billboard�s list of Top Country Albums and also hit the 5th spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The following year (2007), Taylor Swift received the �Songwriter/Artist of the Year� award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International, which made her the youngest performer in history to win the said award. Swift also received a nomination for �Best New Artist� in the 2008 Grammy Awards. In the first quarter of 2008, Taylor�s �Picture to Burn�, one of her debut album�s singles reached number 3 on Billboard�s Country Chart. Another single: �Should�va Said No� was released next, which became a chart topper on the same chart. In November of the same year (2008), Taylor launched �Fearless�, her studio album, which topped the Billboard 200 Album chart, and also contained the lead single entitled �Love Story� which was a smash hit not only in the Country chart, but also in the Pop chart. In January of the current year (2009), Taylor appeared on Saturday Night Live, with her show getting the highest ratings. The following month, she performed at the 51st Grammy Awards with Miley Cyrus wherein they sang Taylor�s track: �Fifteen�. Taylor also contributed her song: �Crazier� to the soundtrack of Cyrus�s film: �Hannah Montana: The Movie�.
