My writing about Swift

TAYLOR ALISON SWIFT

Taylor Swift wants to show why she was the best, so she insisted on writing a kind of song, songs which make connection, which also have the ability to reach out and hug, laugh or cry with a listener. “I won’t be satisfied until I have a song for each person, for each thing.” stressed Swift again to the reporter. And the sparkling centerpieces - the 2009 American Music Award for Artist of the Year, and the 2009 CMA Award for Entertainer of the Year, country music’s highest honor. Swift is the youngest artist ever, and only the sixth female act in history, to win this prestigious award.

She wrote songs and sings them at karaoke contests, festivals, and fairs around her hometown. When she was 12 years old, she devoted an entire summer to writing a 350-paged novel, which remains unpublished. Her first major show was a well-received performance at the Bloomsburg Fair. In 2008, she earned her high school diploma through home schooling at the age of 18.

Taylor Alison Swift was born in 18th December, 1989 and was raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania as the first child and only daughter of Andrea (née Finlay), a homemaker, and Scott Swift, a stockbroker. Her grandmother was an opera singer. Swift has a younger brother, Austin. When she was in fourth grade, Swift won a national poetry contest with a three-page poem entitled "Monster in My Closet".

FEARLESS – one Taylor Swift’s album, has taken a flying leap. Her achievements with her second album have been nothing less than staggering. At times, Taylor seems to be rewriting music history on a weekly basis. It’s safe to say Taylor Swift knows a thing or two about being FEARLESS. “To me, fearless isn’t not having fears,” explains Swift. “It’s not that you’re not afraid of anything. I think that being fearless is having a lot of fears, but you jump anyway.”

Even now, with her life barreling down the country music fast lane Taylor still makes it a priority to put the guitar, pen, and paper she keeps nearby to good use. Writing songs helps her stay grounded as her career orbits in the stratosphere. But for listeners popping in Taylor’s CD and expecting to hear a laundry list of lyrics on the plight of country music superstar rising through the ranks, FEARLESS is going to surprise you.
