One of my favorite artists is Taylor Swift, an American songwriter born in December of 1989.
Tell me about it, Tata is the best. I have her tour shirt on right now.
She is a well known contemporary artist.  What I love about her is that she writes most of her songs about her personal life.
I thought she bought all her music off of Rose, Robert Ellis Orrall, Brian Maher, and Angelo Petragli. I don't think any of her songs are actually her on. But she can belt them out beautifully, 
Perhaps you are right. She started singing at the age of 14 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Do you think her parents pushed her?
Not really sure - I don't know too much about her personal life. Although, I do know that she was the sole writer of her 2010 album "Speak Now".
