Country Teen Sensation Taylor Swift
I don’t really know who Taylor Swift is and I am guessing, so do most people my age…
But in the world of country music, this teenager is quite a sensation. As a matter of fact, here’s what happened to her when she graced the CMA Music Festival over the weekend.
Starpulse reports the singer, “made country music history at the CMA Country Festival in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday when she sat and signed autographs for 900 fans. The teenager went through three Sharpie marker pens as she staged an eight-hour signing marathon, making it the longest a female star has sat for a signing session at the annual country music extravaganza.”
Wow. She must really be quite a star.
So, I did a little check and got myself acquainted with her…and first went to Youtube to check out her videos. If it’s the first time you’ve heard of her, watch these:
Trained by her grandmother, an opera singer, Taylor, now almost 20 years old, has been quite comfortable on stage since she was little, performing mostly at local gigs. She seriously learned her music as soon as reaching teenhood and with the support of her parents, the whole family moved near Nashville to help jumpstart her singing career. A music executive spotted her at Nashville’s Bluebird Café and has singer her on his label, even while the young singer was still in high school. In summer of 2006, she released her debut single and was immediately followed by an album in the fall of the same year.
“Our Song” one of her early hits made her the fifth teenage female singer to make it to the top of Billboard magazine Hot Country Songs chart.
Taylor Swift is joining Miley Cyrus in a cameo in the Hanna Montana Movie that’s coming out soon.
