Karen’s Opinion | Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift Fearless

My daughter mailed me her Christmas list but has already given me an update for it. Who the heck is Taylor Swift? Wasn’t he on American Idol?

My daughter quickly corrected my thinking that Taylor Swift was the gray haired guy on American Idol. I am not in the know! I admit it.

From Wikipedia:
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American Grammy-nominated country music artist who began her career as a teenager. Signed to the independent Big Machine Records label in 2006, she made her debut on the Billboard country charts with the release of her debut single “Tim McGraw”. This song, which peaked at #6, was the first of five singles from her self-titled debut, which was released in late 2006 and re-issued in 2007, and has been certified 3× Multi-Platinum by the RIAA. Following “Tim McGraw” were the #2 “Teardrops on My Guitar”, the six-week Number One “Our Song”, the #3 “Picture to Burn” and another Number One in “Should’ve Said No”. All five singles from her debut were Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, as was her song “Change” from the AT&T TEAM USA Soundtrack. Her second album, Fearless, will be released on November 11, and its lead-off single “Love Story” has become her highest Hot 100 hit.

Now wonder I didn’t know who SHE was. She was born in 1989! I have her name and the name of the cd in my title. That should jog my memory.
