Taylor Swift (born Taylor Alison Swift December 13, 1989) is an American Country Music Singer-Songwriter. At only 16-years-old, she released a debut single enititled "Tim McGraw", which peaked at #6 on the Billboard's Hot Country Songs in 2007. The song made Swift a Country star overnight. She recently released another single, entitled "Teardrops On My Guitar", which debuted at #41.

Taylor Swift is currently one of the youngest singers on the country music charts, though certainly not the first teenage country singer. Over the years, several teenage acts have seen success as country artists, including Tanya Tucker, Marie Osmond, and LeAnn Rimes.

Taylor was born in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania in 1989. She was musically influenced from an early age. Her maternal grandmother was a professional opera singer who was one of Swift's key inspirations in her musical career during her early life. At the age of ten, Taylor began to perform around her hometown, singing at karaoke contests, festivals, and fairs. Her first exposure to the music business consisted of recording demo tapes at a studio.

When she was eleven, she sang the national anthem at a Philadelphia 76ers game. When Taylor was twelve, she gained interest in the guitar and began to write songs. During this time she also took trips with her family to Nashville, Tennessee, to show her music around. In Nashville she wrote songs with local songwriters. A few years later, she and her family moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee. When she performed at a local restaurant called the Bluebird Cafe, she caught the attention of a veteran of the Nashville music industry, Scott Borchetta. Borchetta wanted to put her on his new label called Big Machine Records. Big Machine Records was partially owned by Country star Toby Keith.

Taylor's first single, "Tim McGraw", was released to radio in Summer of 2006. On October 24, 2006, Taylor's self-titled CD was released. The CD, on which Taylor wrote or co-wrote all of the songs, peaked at #19 on the sales charts and sold more than 40,000 during its first week. The song "Tim McGraw" peaked at #6 on January 27, 2007, and the song's video reached #1 on CMT's video charts. Her followup, "Teardrops On My Guitar", debuted at #46 on the February 24, 2007 country charts. Overnight, Swift became a Country Music star, becoming one of the biggest female names in the business, along with Sara Evans, Faith Hill, and Carrie Underwood.

Since her success, she has appeared on Good Morning America, and at the 2006 Academy of Country Music Awards. Her pursuit of country music stardom was the subject of "GAC Short Cuts", a part-documentary, part-music video series that aired during the summer of 2006 on the country music channel Great American Country.

She sang the national anthem at the November 12, 2006 Nascar race and at the November 23, 2006 Thanksgiving Day football game between the Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions. She also performed at halftime at a recent Pittsburgh Steelers game. Taylor also appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Tuesday February 13, 2007. She performed her hit single, "Tim McGraw".
