[post_page_title]Taylor Swift then[/post_page_title]
While much has changed in Taylor Swift’s life since her first record, one thing remains constant: she writes about personal experiences. Swift earned the attention of country music critics after writing vulnerable and anecdotal country pop songs for her 2006 self-titled debut album. Raised in Pennsylvania, Swift made the move to Nashville at 14 years old to pursue a career in country music. It didn’t take long before Swift signed a record deal with Big Machine and began releasing hit after hit.
