    Taylor Swift
    Early Life

     Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is


    an American country pop singer–
    songwriter, guitarist and actress.
     Swift was born in the borough of Wyomissing,
    Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of Scott Swift,
    a stock broker, and his wife Andrea, a
    homemaker. She 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“.
     At ten, Swift began writing songs and singing at karaoke
    contests, festivals, and fairs around her hometown. One
    summer, she devoted herself to writing a 350-page novel,
    which remains unpublished.

     She was a member of a local SNL-inspired kid's sketch comedy


    group, TheatreKids Live!, where she was a natural comedic
    talent. After seeing her karaoke performance at one of the
    cast parties, group founder Kirk Cremer's mother suggested
    that Swift seemed better poised to pursue a career in country
    music than theatrical performing. Emboldened by her
    performances and growing audiences, she began to perform
    in other local open mike and karaoke nights. Her first major
    show was a well-received performance at the Bloomsburg
    Fair, arranged by local performer Pat Garrett.
    Taylor Swift Discography
     Swift became the first solo female artist to
    score five top 10 hits from a debut album since
    the album chart was first published in
    1964.According to Nielsen Sound
    Scan, Fearless and Taylor Swift are among the
    Top 10 bestselling albums of 2008, which
    ranked at #3 and #6 respectively. Swift was
    the bestselling album artist of 2008 in all
    popular music formats with 4,003,000 copies
    sold in the United States.
     The first single from the second album, "Love Story"
    eventually reached #4 and became Swift's highest
    charted single on Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian Hot
    100 at the time, as well as the first country song to
    reach Number One the Mainstream Top 40 chart. The
    song has already distinguished itself as the country
    song with the most paid downloads in history, tops
    the 3 million mark in paid downloads on the week
    ending March 15, 2009.The song was also released in
    several countries, and charted at #1 on Australian
    ARIA Singles Chart. It was Swift's first international
    single. Since then, "You Belong with Me" peaked at #2
    on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of August 22,
    2009, becoming her highest charting single.
    MTV VMA controversy
     On September 13, 2009, during the 2009 MTV Video
    Music Awards, singer/rapper Kanye West came on the
    stage and took the microphone from Swift during her
    acceptance speech for winning Best Female Video for
    "You Belong with Me", saying that Beyoncé's video for
    "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", nominated for the
    same award, was "one of the best videos of all time". This
    caused the audience in the venue to respond
    negatively. He handed the microphone back to a stunned
    and reportedly upset Swift, who did not finish her
    acceptance speech. West was removed from the
    remainder of the show for his actions. When Beyoncé
    later won the award for Best Video of the Year for "Single
    Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", she called Swift up on stage so
    that she could finish her acceptance speech.
