Taylor first started acting in musicals when she was nine at the Berks Youth Theatre Academy. She traveled regularly to Broadway, New York for vocal and acting lessons. After a few years of auditioning for musicals in New York and not getting or winning anything, she became interested in country music. Which is her career today, as well as being an actress.  When she was 14 she signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Taylor Swifts album in 2006 made people see her as a country music star. Our Song which is her third single, made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number one song on the country chart. Taylor got given the Best New Artist award at the 2008 Grammy Awards. Taylor Swifts second album, Fearless, was released also 2008. She was also successful with her singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me," which was from the album Fearless that won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Taylor released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week, including one that I brought. She then traveled on the thirteen-month Speak Now World Tour, which booked out a lot of arenas around the world. Her tour was attended by over 1.6 million fans. The album's third single, "Mean," won two Grammy Awards. Taylor Swifts fourth album, Red, is set for release on October 22, 2012. The lead single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," became Taylor's first song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which is also popular at my school.

Taylor Swift had her Speak Now world tour in 2012. Luckily I was able to go to her Auckland, New Zealand concert at Vector Arena on the 16 of March. It was amazing the arena was packed! It was exciting because I love Taylor Swift and it was my first concert I had ever been to. I experienced this amazing night with my Mum, sister, Aunty and 2 cousins, and I would go to another one of her concerts again.
