“Talented youth” and “rich in compassion” is how the world press describes the famous female singer Taylor Swift, who is prominent in the world music industry.
At the end of 2014, Taylor Swift once again led the list of stars with the most charitable activities of the year announced by the American non-profit organization Do Something. For three consecutive years, Taylor has been recognized as the artist with the most contributions to contributing to positive social change. That makes the audience love the heart and talent of the girl who has persistently pursued her passion since childhood and always wholeheartedly does good deeds with the results of her own artistic labor.
Trying to conquer music from the age of 10
Taylor Alison Swift’s childhood was nurtured on a lush farm in Pennsylvania, Eastern United States, where her mother put her on a horse when she was 9 months old and went to school quite early. The blonde girl with lively eyes grew up with music in her ears because her grandmother was a professional singer, and her parents, although working in the financial sector, were also music lovers. While her grandmother sang opera and her mother liked to listen to rock music from Def Leppard, Taylor was captivated by legendary female country music vocalists like Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton.

Accidentally at a party, Taylor found a karaoke machine and immediately passionately sang songs by Shania Twain and Faith Hill. Seeing that scene, Andrea’s friends – Taylor’s mother – told her that “this girl should pursue a career in country music.” Recalling her childhood passion, Taylor once told The Guardian newspaper (UK) that Shania Twain’s songs made her “want to run around the neighborhood four times and daydream about everything”.
At the age of 10, Taylor started going to festivals, fairs, cafes, garden clubs, sporting events in local towns… asking to sing every weekend. But when she first entered middle school, Taylor was teased by some of her classmates as a “freak” because of her love of “silly” country music. Undeterred, Taylor not only continued to sing but also brought all her karaoke capital to participate in a weekly competition in the town of Strausstown with the reward being the opportunity to sing as the opening act for famous country singers. . Week after week, Taylor kept taking the exam and then “failing” but after a year of perseverance, she finally won with the reward of singing in the show of famous singer Charlie Daniels.
Patiently waiting from morning to night, Taylor finally waited until Charlie Daniels appeared to sing with him and received his first compliments from a veteran in the profession. After that, Taylor had the opportunity to watch an episode of the documentary Behind the Music about singer Faith Hill and she decided she needed to take a trip to the town of Nashville, Tennessee – the home of country music and also where the gods of the country are. Her statue has become famous.
At age 11, Taylor and her mother went to Nashville to seek a recording contract. Taylor’s mother drove her child around here to send demos of her self-recorded karaoke vocals to each record label. But when mother and daughter returned to Pennsylvania, there were no phone calls to their family from Nashville, but Taylor still did not falter.
“If there’s a will, there’s a way”, the opportunity eventually came when during the national anthem at the US Open Tennis Tournament, Dan Dymtrow – the manager of female singer Britney Spears – was present in the audience that day. noticed Taylor and signed her. With his help, the 8th grade student got a talent development contract with RCA Records and recorded her first song. Taylor’s parents decided to move to Tennessee when she was about to enter 10th grade to facilitate her singing career.

In the early days of her career, Taylor’s voice did not attract as much attention as her songwriting ability. That ability was awakened during her elementary school days when her natural talent for writing poetry was revealed. At school, while other kids struggled to write a single line of poetry, Taylor was able to write multi-page poems. When she was in 4th grade, Taylor won a national poetry writing contest with a poem called Monster In My Closet. She later confided in Rolling Stone magazine: “Poetry was the first thing that inspired me about words and it was also poetry that made me become a song writer.”
Singer Taylor Swift is now very famous
During middle school, Taylor became more introverted and began learning to play a musical instrument as a way to relieve her feelings. At the age of 12, a computer repairman taught her how to play 3 chords on the guitar. The initial knowledge of music theory combined with the ability to write poetry inspired Taylor to write her first song called Lucky You. She continued to write many more songs about her stories and feelings during high school and, as her mother said, writing lyrics was a way for Taylor to “filter” the world from her perspective. To this day, Taylor Swift is still known as an artist who “only sings songs she writes herself”.
Singer Charlie Daniels (78 years old) said about Taylor Swift: “I rate her very highly for many reasons. She writes her own songs, writes about what she knows and is always sincere and humble. Taylor Swift is a talented little musician who reminds me of a writer trying to contemplate life’s events from her own perspective.”
