Swift was welcomed into the world in 1989 on December 13th two years before her younger brother Austin Swift.
She was born and bred in Reading, Pennsylvania. Her mother, Andrea, was a full-time mom and her father, Scott Kingsley, worked as a stockbroker.
She spent her formative years on a 15-acre Christmas tree farm, which Taylor explains, was one of the most magical and amazing way to grow up.
Her parents were Presbyterians and Taylor along with her brother attended Bible school.
In 2004, Taylor’s family moved to Hendersonville, Tennessee.
The move put Taylor in a better position to explore the music world and hone her talent. She had made great strides since her first visit to Nashville.
Earlier in 2004 she had been featured as a model for Abercrombie and Fitch as part of their rising star campaigns. She had also performed several original songs at RCA records.
Taylor has also nabbed a spot in the Guinness Book Of World Records for being the first solo female with two million-selling weeks on the U.S Albums Chart.
