Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania, and grew up in nearby Wyomissing.
Taylor commonly plays acoustic and electric guitar and piano. She also plays other instruments like ukulele and occasionally banjo during performances and recordings.
Her songwriting often starts from personal journals, melodies or a lyrical phrase. She writes alone or collaborates with producers and songwriters (e.g., Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner), adapting her process across musical eras.
Key albums include: Taylor Swift (2006), Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights — many also released as re-recorded “Taylor’s Version” editions.
“Swifties” is the devoted fan community around Taylor. They connect online and at shows, sharing lyrics, theories, fan art, and organizing support for causes Taylor highlights.
“Taylor’s Version” labels are re-recorded editions of her earlier albums. By re-recording, she creates new master recordings she controls, giving her more ownership and control over how those songs are used.
