So Swifties Tay and a great year hasn't she?Her tour,vma's,Nashville Education Centre and more. I am sure she will win a lot of awards!
when i heared taylor swift voice for the first time i loved her.white horse was the first song i have heared for taylor swift.and,,,,,i loved that song.because i felt that taylor swift was singing that song from her heart.wheni hear her voice in the radio or the TV......i feel that i am listening to a story. a great story. her music are great. her voice is amazing.you know...while i was studying, i loved listening to taylor swift songs because her songs are very quite. and, it make me foucs very well
This may just be my opinion. Taylor Swift has her voice edited? I myself have heard this plenty of times in many situations or discussions. Somehow it always comes up that Taylor Swift has her voice edited.
I have never really noticed it myself, but that is considering that i always sing to her songs. I mean what girl doesn't were all her fans so hello were going to be singing to her songs.
Just recently, maybe a year ago wasn't to recent but I decided to just let her sing while testing this out i thought that her voice was great and did not sound like it was edited, but then i saw a live video and her voice would crack, that got me thinking maybe she does get her voice edited? you tell me? search live video taylor swift? tell me what you think.
I have noticed over the years she is getting better at live singing not much voice cracking.
She is an idol for so many age groups.

The 22-year-old singer recently visited a beach — that must have been a stomping ground for her in her younger years – in the dead of winter.
Tay bundled up in a stylish winter coat. She said "Childhood beach memories revisited. Nothing quite like a freezing cold, wintery beach." So maybe the beach is a special one full of memories for Taylor.
Do you ever go to the beach in the winter?
The songstress was honored in her hometown of Nashville this Saturday at the annual Nashville Symphony Ball. Taylor, who wore a stunning nude gown adorned with silver embellishments and a sheer skirt, received the Harmony Award in recognition her significant contributions to the development and appreciation of musical culture.
Contrary to her typical effusive reaction during award ceremonies, Taylor graciously accepted the prestigious award with demure grace. The “Ours” singer looked like classic Hollywood star as she smiled sweetly and posed for photographers.
Swift was born in the borough of Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of Scott Swift, a stock broker, and his wife Andrea, a homemaker. She has a younger brother, Austin. When she was in fourth grade, Swift won a national poetry contest with a three page poem entitled "Monster In My Closet"At ten, Swift began writing songs and singing at karaoke contests, festivals, and fairs around her hometown. During one summer, Swift devoted herself to writing a 350 page (unpublished) novel..

“There is one … two … three. Those are the ones that have been speculated. It’s all good fun though. It’s music going back and forth. It’s fueled by heartbreak and real stories and real things. That’s what keeps music authentic.”
Supposedly there are multiple songs on the album that are about Taylor, but none are confirmed. She responded to the songs by saying, “There is one … two … three. Those are the ones that have been speculated. It’s all good fun though. It’s music going back and forth. It’s fueled by heartbreak and real stories and real things. That’s what keeps music authentic.”
