The Young Superstar Who Became Country Music Legend

The glamorous superstar Taylor Swift has changed the history of Country Music with top selling albums and 211 music awards.

Mini Bio
Taylor Swift was born in Pennsylvania, on December 13th, 1989. She grew up in a Christmas tree farm. She taught herself how to play a guitar at the age of 12. She used to practice alone for hours till her fingers bled. She made her family move to Nashville to support her pursue her dream of becoming a star. Her trade marks are golden curly hair, cowboy boots, glittery guitars, writing her own songs based on her diaries, mostly about her relationships. She was bullied back in high school which motivated her to write songs, in one of her interviews she states that she should actually thank her bullies because if she hadn't felt so miserable being bullied and left alone she wouldn't have been motivated to write songs. Awful experiences made her who she is today. So far, she has released 4 albums, she is the youngest artist to ever win a Grammy award for album of the year! hold on... that's not all! she's now named billboard's artist of the year, Entertainer of the year for country music as well as Academy of Country music and top selling artist in history. That's fascinating, isn't it? I'm not even done yet.

Platinum album
Her newest album "RED" is the only triple platinum album in history! It sold 3 million copies during the first month of the release. The record-breaking sales are impressive and extraordinary, let's all sit down for a minute and absorb the fact that Taylor's new album out-sold Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, and Rihanna's... combined! Taylor Swift now has won 211 music awards in total with 4 top selling albums. 

Here's a playlist of her Red album's songs!


Billboard Music Awards 2013

The ceremony took place in Las Vegas, where the dazzling superstar Taylor Swift dominated the music awards by winning 8 awards at once, she is indeed the shining star of the red carpet. She thanked all her fans stating that they are the best and longest relationship she ever had. Regardless of her scooping up 8 awards, she performed her new song "22" and it was a fantastic performance, check it out!
"I wish I was strong enough to lift not one, but 8 of you."

 These are the music awards she won:
  • Top Female Artist
  • Top Billboard 200 Artist
  • Top Digital Song
  • Top Country Artist 
  • Top Country Album
  • Top Country Song
  • Artist of the Year
  • Top Album



Hidden Messages

Did you know that Taylor Swift hides notes between her lyrics in each songs of her album for her fans to decode? It is a hidden message so you would guess who the song is written for, all the lyrics are written in small capital letters except for few letters, when you gather them up it will make a sentence! I personally find this very interesting and smart. 

The Company Abercrombie gets backlash from Swifties

The Company Abercrombie & Fitch for clothing has mocked the superstar's love life with one of its t-shirt that says "#More boyfriends than TS", which obviously mocks the celebrity's dating record, but Taylor Swift's fans have responded with extreme negativity and have requested on Change.org to take down those t-shirts because it's plainly offensive. The Company kept getting complains and negative feedback from the celebrity's fans till it actually stopped producing the t-shirts. Abercrombie even apologized to Swifties after this incident on Twitter. 
I personally think it was very rude and uncalled for, even though Taylor Swift writes about those who she dates, we are not in a position to judge someone's personal life. Besides, her music is beyond amazing which is what matters in the end and she is "the most charitable" celebrity in Hollywood since 2011.
