For Language Arts, we have to do a project on our favorite singer or band. Here is mine!

My favorite singer is Taylor Swift.  She is my favorite because my dad listened to her songs all the time when I was little,  and even since then I’ve loved her music. My favorite song by her is “A Place in this World”.  It’s my favorite because that was the first song by Taylor Swift that my dad had me listen to. I also like “Teardrops on my Guitar”.   I like it because it was another one of the first Taylor Swift songs that I listened to with my dad.

Taylor Swift is twenty-four years old, and was born on December 13, 1989.  She was born in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania .   She started making songs at age five, and released her first album at age sixteen. At age ten, she sang at a variety of local events, including fairs and contests. At age eleven, she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a Philadelphia sports event. At age twelve, she began writing her own songs, and learning to play guitar.

Taylor Swift released her first single in 2006. Her debut album sold more than 2.5 million copies. In 2008, she was nominated for a Grammy award in the “Best New Artist” category. She won the Academy of Country Music’s  “Female Vocalist of the Year” award, the American Music Awards “Favorite Female Country Artist” award, and the American Music Association’s “Horizion” award. Around this time, she also released her second album, “Fearless” . By the end of the year, she became the highest-selling country artist of 2008.
