Taylor sang at festivals and Karaoke contests. When she was 11, she and her family moved to Nashville, where she was looking for a record deal. She did not get one with RCA records but, when she was 16, she struck a deal with Big Machine Records.

Her first single, "Tim McGraw," rose to high standards on the charts. She wrote songs like "Our Song" and "Love Story" at home.

She has won lots and lots of awards in her career. She went from country hopeful to pop music megastar.

She now has a cat named Meredith who keeps her company when she is at home. Her first musical crush was Justin Timberlake.

She has a new perfume called "Wonderstruck." Taylor loves to perform to those who come to her shows around the country and around the world. Taylor has a wonderful future ahead of her.

Way to go, Taylor! I love you!
