This may be surprising but one of my favorite musicians is Taylor Swift. She was born Taylor Allison Swift on December 13th 1989 in Reading Pennsylvania. She found out she had a love for music from a very young age. By the time she was 14 she and her family had moved to Nashville Tennessee so Taylor could pursue her music career. She is mostly known for her beautiful voice but can also play the guitar, banjo, ukulele, and the piano. The label she is signed with is Big Machine. Most of her songs are about her dating life. For example her latest song “We are Never Getting back Together.” It is about a recent break up with her boyfriend and how she used to always give in and take him back right away but she doesn’t want to do that this time. The song has become an anthem to her many fans. Taylor does not only sound good on the radio but she is just as good if not better in person say many of her fans. She is widely known for acting out many of her songs which is great for the audience! The thing that I think makes Taylor different is how great of role model she is. Unlike some of the recent stars of our generation such as Britney Spears, Taylor has a squeaky clean reputation and takes a lot of pride in that and she realizes that many people look up to her. She always says how she loves that young people look up to her and always thinks of that before doing something she may be ashamed of. There aren’t many artists that you can compare Taylor too. She sings catchy pop song like Lady Gaga and she also sings powerful country songs like Carrie Underwood. The critics say that Taylor sings about her love life to much but to that I would say artists sing about what they know and what inspires her and if that’s what inspires her and her fans love it then I don’t think she should change a thing. As long as she keeps doing what she is doing she will continue to be a force in the music industry.
