INTRODUCTION
Hi! In this blog you will find everything you need to know about Taylor Swift.
I did this blog about her, because she's a musician that I like so much, she's and song-writer singer and that is one of the reasons why like her the most. I like her music because she tells a story in every song and video she realise; she's more inclined to pop/country music and that makes her songs have and unique style; plus her way to show them to the world is gripping and different each time. She's caracterized for her narrative songs about her experiences as a teenager and young adult, her sweet and caring personality, her amazing talent, and her acttitud when she signs and perform. She also, is one of the best-seller musicians of this age. She's an increible vocal singer and performer.
So, hope you like it!
