Long before Taylor Swift became the global pop sensation we know today, her musical journey was shaped by a series of humble beginnings. Most fans are familiar with the romanticized version of her story, her being born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But behind her beginning with country music lies a man whose influence on Swift’s early career had largely been overlooked.
The local Pennsylvania-based computer technician and musician played a pivotal role in the growing years of the superstar’s musical career. Like a “magical twist of fate,” it led her to a computer technician who just happened to teach her a few guitar chords.

Sad but true: Taylor Swift’s parents are divorced.
Fans know that this happened quietly several years ago. After tying the knot in February 1988, Andrea and Scott Swift were married for 23 years before getting divorced in 2011.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and pop star Taylor Swift might not see eye-to-eye on politics, but they both have plenty of respect for each other.
Dave attended the Saturday night (October 19) show of Taylor‘s Eras Tour in Miami, Florida and received a handwritten letter from the singer.

Taylor Swift has made some changes. Following the wave of criticism that preceded her sixth studio album, Reputation, the 30-year-old singer has begun to simultaneously care more about speaking out politically and care less about the ensuing public opinion.
"I still think it's important to be polite, but not at all costs," Taylor told Variety in an interview ahead of her documentary premiere at Sundance. "Not when you're being pushed beyond your limits, and not when people are walking all over you. I needed to get to a point where I was ready, able and willing to call out bullsh*t rather than just smiling my way through it."
"To celebrate but not advocate felt wrong."
This shift became noticeable in 2018. After infamously staying silent during the 2016 presidential election, Taylor encouraged her followers to vote in the midterm elections and spoke out against Tennessee Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn, who would go on to win.

It's Scott and Andrea Swift, Taylor's parents, who have championed their daughter since day one, believing in her so much that they left their palatial house in Reading, Penn., for Nashville, where a determined 14-year-old Taylor felt she had to be to make her dream a reality.

Taylor Swift recently sat down with CBS Sunday Morning and got completely candid about her career and new album, Lover. While speaking to journalist Tracy Smith about the difficulties she's faced as a young woman in the music industry, the 29-year-old pop star called out some of the sexist language used to describe female artists. "A man does something, it's strategic; a woman does the same thing, it's calculated. A man is allowed to react; a woman can only overreact," she said.
The "Me!" singer went on to discuss her clash with talent agent Scooter Braun after he put down $300 million to buy Big Machine Records - the label that still owns Taylor's first six albums, even though she split from the company in November 2018. Taylor maintained that the CEO of Big Machine Records, Scott Borchetta, didn't tell her that Scooter was going to purchase the company. "I knew he would sell my music,...
