She travelled to Nashville, Tennessee-the capital of country music-to submit a demo tape. It was then that Taylor decided she needed to take the plunge into becoming a fully fledged country artist. Still aged 11, Taylor was invited to open the concert of country singer Charlie Daniels. She was invited to sing the National Anthem for a Philadelphia 76ers game. It was aged 11 that Taylor landed her first breakthrough performance. And I started dragging my parents to festivals, and fairs, and karaoke contests.” Looking back on her childhood, Taylor said, “I think I first realized I wanted to be in country music and be an artist when I was 10. She performed in school musicals and was also part of the Berks Youth Theatre Academy, where she had parts in “Annie” and “Bye Bye Birdie.”Īs a child, she would travel to New York City regularly to have singing and acting lessons and auditioned for Broadway productions several times, but never got the part. Taylor first started to get interested in music at age nine.
In fact, Taylor herself once remarked, “It mattered what kind of designer handbag you brought to school.” How Did Taylor Swift become a singer? Taylor attended a prestigious private school during her elementary school days-The Wyndcroft School, which costs $22,850 a year for the highest grade.įor her junior and senior high school days, Swift attended a local public school-Wyomissing Area Junior/Senior High School.ĭespite not being a private school, it could certainly be mistaken for one. The Swift family then moved to another luxurious home, which they rented for ten years.
