Article by Chaya Jennifer

Singer & songwriter Taylor Swift may only be 20, but she has quickly established herself as one of country music’s brightest, young stars. Propelled by the success of her breakthrough single “Tim McGraw,” Swift’s debut album Taylor Swift was certified gold just after its release. An year ago, In an interview with MTV News, Taylor Swift had spoken about her love life, says she is not talking to her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas anymore.

Her achievement on the music charts and in various award categories earned the artist the number-seven ranking in our Celebrity of the Year rundown. But Swift has remained quiet for the first quarter of 2010, hanging out with friends and possibly dating Glee star Cory Monteith. Featured in the latest issue of Vogue, though, Taylor reveals plans to release a new album this fall. 2010 is going to be a big year for Taylor. According to sources, she’s moving out of her parent’s house and into some posh digs of her own, she’ll release new music in the fall, and she’ll celebrate her 21st birthday. Her new home is in Nashville, but she says it isn’t a mansion. Through all her success and worldwide acclaim, she sounds as grounded and humble as ever.

Swift grew up in Wyomissing, PA, where she learned to sing at an early age. In particular, she was influenced by her maternal grandmother, who was a professional opera singer. By age 10, Swift began performing at local karaoke contests, festivals and county fairs, and she recorded some rough demos.

Swift began learning to play guitar from a computer repairman who showed her how to play three chords. After learning those three chords, she wrote her first song, “Lucky You”. Swift became the first country music artist to win an MTV Video Music Award. Swift is the youngest artist in history to win Album of the Year award. The Academy lauded her for career achievements including selling more albums in 2008 than any other artist in any genre of music, the breakthrough success of her debut album, and the worldwide crossover success of her song ‘Love story’. She also won four Grammys, including the prestigious Album of the Year award for “Fearless”.

Across US you can find her events and Taylor Swift tickets sells like hot cakes.One of her emotional write up is “Tied Together With A Smile.” What you might see is a beautiful young girl. All the guys want to be with her. And all the girls want to be like her. But beneath the beauty lies a troubled person dealing with an eating disorder. Taylor said that this song was tough for her to write because it wasn’t just another sad song. This was about the lives of her friends and their personal, private struggles. Swift is currently recording songs for her third album, to be released in late 2010.
