Taylor Swift!!
Born on this very day, the 13th of December has made the eyes of
millions of guys literally pop out with her cute looks along with her fantastic
taste over music. The transition from the 2008 hit country song “Love Story” to her latest poppy track “Blank Space” makes me wonder what she
has in store for us in the years to come. Born in Pennsylvania, U.S, Taylor Swift
isn’t just an amazing singer with an extremely soothing voice but also a
song-writer, actress and a philanthropist who can play the guitar, piano and
ukulele.

At the age of
14 she moved to Tennessee to pursue her career in country music. As soon as she
entered the world of music she began creating records after records, in 2006
she released her self titled debut studio album where in the track “Our Song” made her the youngest person
to write and perform a no.1 country song.
“Fearless” became the best selling album in 2009 furthermore she also became
the youngest winner for “Album of the
year” Grammy. Her follow-up albums “Speak
now”, “Red” and “1989” made Swift the first and only
singer to have 3 albums sell more than a million copies in the first week.
Just within a
span of 8 years, she has won 7 Grammy Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards and has
sold over 30 million albums. In addition to her music career she has also acted
in the comedy film “Valentines Day
(2010) and “The Giver (2014)”.
Along with this she has also towards numerous charities for child literacy,
natural disaster relief and also supports LGBT anti-discrimination efforts. She
is one of the very few musicians who have achieved so much in such a short span
of time. Truly Hats off!!
