3 CHAPTER 1 For teachers' And the Winner Is is... It was November 9, 2011 the night of the 45th Annual Country Music Association Awards (CMAs). Taylor Swift struck a pose on the red carpet. She wore a strapless white J. Mendel gown that flowed gracefully around her legs. Taylor had been nominated for Female Vocalist, Entertainer, Album, Song, and Music Video of the Year awards. The music video and song nominations were both for her newest single, Mean. The song nomination was especially meaningful to Taylor. That award was given to the songwriter, not the artist. It was the first time Taylor had been nominated for a CMA Award for her songwriting. Although Taylor s song didn t win, she still snagged the biggest award of the night Entertainer of the Year. She became the second female ever to win the award twice at the CMAs. 4

4 For teachers' As Taylor accepted the award, she read from a list written on the inside of her left arm. The list contained the names of all the people she wanted to thank. 5

5 CHAPTER 2 For teachers' A Star Is Born The big win at the CMAs was a far cry from the karaoke clubs where Taylor first found her voice. Taylor Alison Swift was born December 13, She grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Her mother, Andrea, was a homemaker. Her father, Scott, worked as a stockbroker. A younger brother, Austin, joined the family two years later. A cat and two Dobermans would round out the household. Taylor had music in her genes. Her grandmother, Marjorie Finlay, was a former opera singer. Taylor always loved performing. At the Wyndcroft School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, she joined a children s theater group. Taylor was tall and talented. She won lead roles in Grease, Bye Bye Birdie, and The Sound of Music. At the age of 11, Taylor also sang the national anthem at sporting events including Philadelphia 76ers games and the U.S. Open. 6

6 For teachers' Country singers like Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton were inspirations to young Taylor. In 2000 Taylor found out about a karaoke contest at the Pat Garrett Roadhouse in Strausstown, Pennsylvania. She performed there each week for a year and a half until she won. The prize made her that night s opening act for musician Charlie Daniels. lead the main role in a play or musical karaoke a form of entertainment in which a person sings along to music being played by a machine 7

7 For teachers' Taylor and her mother, Andrea, have always been close. In her free time, Taylor watched biographies of country music stars. Their stories made Taylor realize that many got their start in Nashville, Tennessee. She made a demo CD of herself singing along to songs by the Dixie Chicks and LeAnn Rimes. Then she talked her mom into driving her to Nashville s Music Row. Taylor s mom was always supportive of her daughter s dreams. For months the pair kept going back to Nashville, trying to meet anyone in the industry. 8 demo a sampling of songs recorded by an artist

8 Nashville s Music Row In the mid-1940s, For teachers' recording studios began popping up in downtown Nashville. There, the Country Music Association was founded. Famous stars, such as Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton, traveled to Music Row to record their latest hits. Soon Nashville was seen as the country music capital of the world. Music Row is still home to hundreds of businesses related to the country music industry. Other famous country stars who were discovered on Music Row include Faith Hill and Garth Brooks. Today Taylor s apartment is just two blocks away from the historic area. I took my demo CDs of karaoke songs, where I sound like a chipmunk it s pretty awesome to Nashville, and my mom waited in the car while I knocked on doors up and down Music Row. I would say, Hi, I m Taylor. I m 11. I want a record deal. Call me. Taylor, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, on handing out her demo CD. 9
