With long curly blond hair and an amazing voice，Taylor Swift has stolen the hearts of millions of people around the world．
Born on December 13th，1989，Taylor grew up in Pennsylvania，in the US．Singing seems to be in her blood because she started writing songs and singing them at the age of ten．At about eleven years old she was asked to perform at the U．S．Open Tennis Tournament．She started to become well-known from then on and gave her first concert at Bloomsbury Fair at the age of 12．When Taylor was 13 years old，she began to work with a famous record company，RCA Records．Two years later，she left，because the company wanted her to sing the work of other songwriters，but she wanted to sing her own songs．At 15，Swift signed with Scott Borghetto，who planned to start a new recording company，Big Machine Records．
Swift's first song with Big Machine Records was Tim McGraw in 2006．Later in the same year she released（發(fā)行）her first album，Taylor Swift．The album broke many records and reached the top of the Billboard Top 200 Album charts．Her second song，Teardrops on My Guitar released in February 2007，reaching Number 2 on Billboard Hot Country Songs charts．The third song，Our Song，was reached Number 16 on Billboard's Hot 100 charts．
