Early life

Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania.

 Her father, Scott Kingsley Swift, is a Merrill Lynch financial adviser.

 Scott was raised in Pennsylvania and is the descendant of three generations of bank presidents.

 Her mother, Andrea (née Finlay), is a homemaker who previously worked as a mutual fund marketing executive.

 Andrea spent the first ten years of her life in Singapore, before settling in Texas.

 her father was an oil rig engineer who worked throughout Southeast Asia.

 Swift has a younger brother, Austin, who attends theUniversity of Notre Dame.

 She and her brother were raised in the Presbyterian faith and attended bible school.

 She spent the early years of her life on an eleven-acre Christmas tree farm in near by Cumru Township, Pennsylvania.

 She attended preschool and kindergarten at the Alvernia Montessori School, run by Franciscan nuns, and was later educated at the Wyndcroft School, a co-ed private school.

 When Swift was nine years old, the family moved to a rented house in the suburban town of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, where she attended West Reading Elementary Center and Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School.

 Swift summered at her parents' waterfront vacation home in Stone Harbor, New Jersey and has described it as the place "where most of my childhood memories were formed."

Swift's family owned several Quarter horses and a Shetland pony and her first hobby was English horse riding.

 Her mother first put her in a saddle when she was nine months old and she later competed in horse shows.

 At the age of nine, Swift became interested in musical theatre.

She performed in many Berks Youth Theatre Academy productions and traveled regularly to Broadway for vocal and acting lessons.

Swift then turned her attention to country music; Shania Twain's songs made her "want to just run around the block four times and daydream about everything.

 She spent her weekends performing at local festivals, fairs, coffeehouses, karaoke contests, garden clubs, Boy Scout meetings and sporting events.

 At the age of eleven, after many failed attempts, Swift won a local talent competition by singing a rendition of LeAnn Rimes's "Big Deal", and was given the opportunity to appear as the opening act for Charlie Daniels at a Strausstown amphitheater.

 This growing ambition began to isolate Swift from her middle school peers.

After watching a Behind the Music episode about Faith Hill, Swift felt sure that she needed to go to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a music career.

 At the age of eleven, she traveled with her mother to Nashville for spring break to leave a demo of Dolly Parton and Dixie Chicks karaoke covers with record labels along Music Row.

 She received label rejections and realized that "everyone in that town wanted to do what I wanted to do. So, I kept thinking to myself, I need to figure out a way to be different."

 At the age of twelve, Swift was shown by a computer repairman how to play three chords on a guitar, inspiring her to write her first song, "Lucky You".

She had previously won a national poetry contest with a poem titled "Monster in My Closet" but now began to focus on songwriting.

 In 2003, Swift and her parents started working with New York-based music manager Dan Dymtrow. With Dymtrow's help, Swift modelled forAbercrombie and Fitch as part of their "Rising Stars" campaign, had an original song included in a Maybelline Cosmetics compilation CD and took meetings with major record labels.

 After performing original songs at an RCA Records showcase, the eighth-grader was given an artist development deal and began making frequent trips to Nashville with her mother.

When Swift was fourteen, her father transferred to the Nashville office of Merrill Lynch and the family relocated to a lakefront house in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

 "My parents took all the pressure off by saying, ‘We’re just moving because we love the area, so don’t worry.’

They knew nothing about the industry and had no involvement in entertainment, but I was obsessed with it and so they did their research and read up about it to help me in every way they could.

They’re amazing people." In Tennessee, she attended Hendersonville High School for her freshman and sophomore years.

 Later, to accommodate her touring schedule, Swift transferred to the Aaron Academy, a private Christian school which offered homeschooling services.

She earned her high school diploma in 2008, having completed her final two years of course work in twelve months.
