Background Of Taylor Swift
Swift, whose given name is James Taylor, was born on December 13, 1989, in Pennsylvania. Growing up, she and her family lived on a Christmas tree farm. Taylor’s interest in musical theater began when she was just nine years old. She then decided to take acting and singing classes in New York City. She was heavily influenced by Shania Twain, whose music she admired.
Taylor picked up the guitar at age 12 and came up with her first original, “Lucky You.” They relocated to Nashville so that Taylor could take advantage of the city’s thriving music scene. In 2003, Swift began working with music manager Dan Dymtrow. Once he got Swift an assignment modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, there was no turning back.
