Taylor Swift is an inspiring young female country-pop artist who has made a big impact in the country music world. Taylor Swift has quite a few songs that have hit it off with a lot of the world. Some of these songs include her early hits ”love story”, “you belong with me” and her number 1 singles “shake it off” and “blank space”. Taylor mostly writes her songs about young heart ace and long lost love. She has also portrayed herself as a “good girl” until she spoke up about politics in 2016. She had some tough parts in her career including Kanye West saying some unexpectable things at the CMT Music Awards. But through it all, she had stood back up and as made a big impact in the music world and to many young girls. 

Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989, and even from a young age, she showed an interest in music. Taylor spent most of her childhood on an 11-acre Christmas tree farm in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. But once Taylor showing real interest and potential in her country music career, her parents sold the Christmas tree farm. They then moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee so that they would be close to the country music capital Nashville. Close to her new home, she started signing records. In 2009 Swift got several awards for her work on Fearless, including Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year for "Love Story" at the CMT Music Awards. During her speech for winning the best female video of the year, she was interrupted by rapper Kanye West who protested and said that Beyonce should have won the award. Beyonce was very uncomfortable with this protest and invited Taylor on stage to finish her speech when she was awarded an award for the best music video of the year. 

Over the years many rumors have circulated about Taylor and various other men. Some of these speculations have included Joe Jonas, Harry Styles, and Connor Kennedy (son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.). In her new documentary called “Miss Americana,” Taylor says that in the past she would look at photos that the press would take of her and start to starve her self. She has learned to not look at photos of her self and their criticism so that she won’t go down that road again. Another controversy around Taylor Swift is that she as portrayed as a good girl. She would always say please and thank you and never talk politics or really voice her opinion. Taylor posted saying that Blackburn is voting against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act and accused her of opposing equal pay for women, among other issues. She then opened up more about politics and continues encouraging fans to vote.
