Early life

Swift was born and raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, to Andrea (née Finlay), a homemaker, and Scott Swift, a stockbroker. Her grandmother was an opera singer.[13] Swift has a younger brother, Austin.[14] When she was in fourth grade, she won a national poetry contest with a three-page poem entitled "Monster In My Closet".[13][15]
At the age of 10, acomputer repairman showed her how to play three chords on a guitar, sparking her interest in learning the instrument. Afterwards, she wrote her first song, "Lucky You".[16] She began writing songs regularly and used it as an outlet to help her with her pain from not fitting in at school. She was a victim of bullying, and often wrote songs to express her emotions.[17] Swift also started performing atkaraoke contests, festivals, and fairs around her hometown. When she was 12, she devoted an entire summer to writing a 350-page novel, which remains unpublished.[18] Her first major show was a well-received performance at the Bloomsburg Fair.[19] Swift attended Hendersonville High School but was subsequently homeschooled for her junior and senior years. In 2008, she earned her high-schooldiploma.[20]
Swift's greatest musical influence is Shania Twain.[21] Her other influences include LeAnn Rimes, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton, and her grandmother. Although her grandmother was a professional opera singer,[22] Swift's tastes always leaned more toward country music. In her younger years, she developed a love for Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton.[23] She also credits the Dixie Chicks fordemonstrating the impact you can make by "stretching boundaries".[24]
