Early Life and Career
Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in
Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Swift spent her early years on her
family's Christmas tree farm. Her grandmother had been a
professional opera singer, and Swift soon followed in her
footsteps. By the age of 10, Swift was singing at a variety of
local events, including fairs and contests. She sang "The Star-
Spangled Banner" at a Philadelphia 76ers game at the age of
11, and began writing her own songs and learning guitar at 12
years old.
To pursue her music career, Swift often visited Nashville,
Tennessee, the country music capital. There she co-wrote
songs, and tried to land a recording contract. Noting her
dedication, Swift and her family moved to nearby
Hendersonville, Tennessee, in an attempt to further Swift's
career.
