♥Taylor Swift's Number 1♥ [congrats taylor!]'s Blurbs
About me: Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American country music singer-songwriter . Signed to the independent Big Machine Records label in 2006, Taylor made her debut on the country charts at age sixteen with the release of her debut single "Tim McGraw". Her self-titled debut album was released in late 2006, and has since been certified platinum by the RIAA for selling more than one million copies in the United States; to date, the album has produced three Top Ten singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, all three of which have also reached Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2007, she also won the Country Music Association's Horizon Award.
Swift's first single, "Tim McGraw", was released to radio in Summer of 2006. On October 24, 2006, her self-titled CD was released. The album, on which Swift wrote or co-wrote all of the songs, debuted at #19 on the Billboard 200 and sold more than 61,000 during its first week. In 2007, it peaked at #1 at Billboard Top Country Albums and #8 at Billboard 200. It also spent eight consecutive weeks at the top of Top Country Albums.
"Tim McGraw" peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts for the week of January 27, 2007. The song's music video set a record by appearing for 30 consecutive weeks on GAC's fan-voted weekly Top 20 music countdown show, and reached #1 on CMT's video charts; the video also won Taylor a "Breakthrough Video of the Year" at the 2007 CMT Music Awards.
Her pursuit of country music stardom was the subject of "GAC Short Cuts", a part-documentary, part-music video series airing since the summer of 2006 on the country music channel. Great American Country.
On May 15, 2007, Swift performed "Tim McGraw" at the Academy of Country Music Awards. She sang the song to Tim McGraw in the audience, and introduced herself for the first time to him. Taylor has been an opening act for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on their Soul2Soul 2007 tour. She is currently touring with Brad Paisley and has opened in the past for George Strait and Rascal Flatts as well.
Her second album is about to be recorded and planned for a 2008 release.
On November 7, 2007, Swift won the 2007 CMA Horizon Award and also performed "Our Song".
In October 2007 Taylor's songwriting peers at the Nashville Songwriters Association International honored her with their Songwriter / Artist of the Year Award, making her the youngest artist ever to win the award.
In Tay's Words: I'm an 18-year-old voting member of society. I also write songs and sing them in different cities every night. Class of 2008. In my spare time, I like to drive past my ex boyfriends' houses and conduct random baking experiments in my kitchen. I really love people who like my music. They're 1 on my favorite things list. I'm not a big deal. At all. I love people who are nice to me, I've never been one to say things like "All you people think you know me, well you don't". I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me. My middle name is Alison. And I'm extremely tall. Like, I'm that really tall person that is blocking your view at a concert. On behalf of all of us, we're sorry. My ideal outfit is a sun dress and cowboy boots. When Denny on Grey's Anatomy died, I cried for days. I have beautiful friends. Be one. I've never been the kind of girl who needs a boyfriend. I believe that love will find you when you're not looking for it.. So I've been actively NOT looking for it for about 3 years now. I'll let you know how that works out for me. It probably doesn't help that I write songs about every guy I talk to. All of the pictures from my first CD were taken in a creek five minutes from my house. I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. Seriously. I'm fascinated by black and white pictures, I have them hung up everywhere. Because you can't forget where you came from. I like people who can be sarcastic and laugh about tense situations. I never assume someone's not being honest with me. I have a fifteen-year-old brother who wanted me to include in here that he's "single and ready to mingle". I was lucky enough to win a CMA Award this year, and I still wake up some mornings convinced that it was all a dream. Because I never actually think I'm going to win anything. I will never straighten my hair to impress a guy ever again. There's never going to be a time when I'm annoyed by compliments about my music. I need everything to be organized. All the time. I think little kids are awesome. I'm a thinker and an over-analyzer. I'm not jaded. I'm a fan of fans. You are absolutely wonderful to me. I've got your back, just like you've had mine. To anyone who has gone out and bought my CD, or come to a show, or even turned my song up when it came on the radio, all I can say is thank you. Oh yeah.. My name's Taylor.
