Taylor Alison Swift was born December 13, 1989, she is the daughter of Andrea Gardner, a housewife, and Scott Kingsley Swift, a stockbroker. His mother's grandmother, Majorie Finlay, was an opera singer. His art blood flowed from his grandmother who was an opera singer. Taylor Swift also idolized singer Shania Twain and made her a role model in singing.

Taylor Swift loved singing since childhood, at age 3 she once sang in front of a tourist when she and her parents went on an excursion. When Swift was in fourth grade, she won a national poetry contest with a three-page poem titled "Monster in My Closet". 

At the age of ten, a computer repairman showed her how to play three chords on a guitar, which later sparked her interest in learning instruments. After that, Swift wrote her first song, "Lucky You". She started writing songs regularly and used it as a place to help her with her pain from discomfort at school. She is a victim of bullying, and often writes songs to express her emotions. She also began performing at karaoke contests, festivals, and exhibitions around her hometown. 

When Swift was 12, she devoted all of her summer vacation to write a 350-page novel, which was not published. As an inspiration to write, Taylor claimed to often pour a variety of themes ranging from personal problems she experienced to other interesting things. For Taylor, writing and composing songs is a means to relieve stress. Taylor was a victim of bullying during school, so writing lyrics was her strategy to pour all the frustration and sadness that was in his head at that time.

In 2005, Taylor Swift successfully impressed a number of local labels with its flagship songs. It can not be separated from the support of her family. Even in supporting her, the Swift family finally decided to move and settle in Nashville.

In 2006, she released her single titled Tim McGraw, then debuted her self-titled album, which was awarded multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and was nominated for Best New Artist at the 50th Grammy Awards.

In November 2008, Swift released her second album, titled Fearless. This album led Swift to win four Grammys at the 52nd Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. Even Fearless occupied the Billboard 200 for 11 weeks.

Its success continued with albums titled Speak Now (2010) and Red (2012). Until 2014, she released an album in 1989, which was described as the first official pop album. This album is the highest selling album in the United States during 2014.

Success in music paved the way for Taylor Swift to face acting. She has starred in several films, such as Valentine and Hannah Montana: The Movie. However, this success does not always get positive results.She is often ridiculed by her seniors.

The most frontal incident was during the MTV VMA award in 2009. At that time Taylor won the award for Best Video Clip for the song You Belong With Me. During his victory speech, suddenly, senior rapper Kanye West appeared on the stage and mocked Taylor Swift. Kanye found Taylor unworthy of winning this award, which he said, the award was more appropriate given to Beyonce Knowles for the Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) video clip. But, after the incident, Kanye apologized to Taylor Swift for his behavior directly.

Outside the world of music, Taylor Swift is a gentle, kind, and understated person. He once fell in love with some of the world's top actors, including Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner. Unfortunately, his relationship with Joe Jonas ended tragically when Joe decided to leave him by telephone. Taylor then told the incident through a song called Forever and Always and became one of the songs on the Fearless album.
