The only weapon more powerful to Taylor Swift than her voice is her guitar, and thanks to a recent breakup with teen heartthrob Joe Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers), this is one bouncy 18-year-old ready to fire. The shimmering country-pop princess has been clawing at the top slot on the charts for the last several weeks with numerous hit singles, and now Swift's new release Fearless has proven the singer/songwriter is just as valiant as her album's title suggests, topping Billboard's country albums chart for the second week in a row since its release. Attracting more than 800,000 album sales over the past two weeks, Swift has something to relish, and it's more than just her pride.



The lovable teenager is known for wearing her heart on her sleeve, and Taylor Swift is now burning through the country music industry with songs such as “Love Story,” her most recently released single, helping propel Fearless to the top of the charts. While “Love Story” is currently blowing up radio waves throughout the country, other singles from her new album like “White Horse” and “The Way I Loved You” have already made cameos on the charts, as well, promising the young starlet even more success in the upcoming weeks and months.

While she's a busy girl holding down the top of the Billboard charts, it's easy to forget the country chanteuse is still just 18 years old, already a seasoned veteran in a cutthroat business. With killer vocals and the songwriting skills to match, the adorable Taylor Swift is already a fully established celebrity in both the country and pop realms, beaming with radiance and signature long locks of golden hair. The talented Swift has been handcrafting her own music since her childhood, and although music seems to come easy for the incredible songstress, she's had her fair share of challenges to get to the top of the business. Swift was born and raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, taking vocal inspiration from her opera-singing grandmother and learning the guitar in her youth to accompany it, often playing until her fingers bled. Swift's first public appearance as a vocalist came at age 11 when she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at a Philadelphia 76ers game.

Swift's winning combination of talent and dedication led her family to eventually relocate to Nashville, Tennessee, and she immediately snagged a record deal with Big Machine Records after producer Scott Borchetta took notice of the rising star while she was performing at Nashville's Bluebird Café. Taylor Swift appeared on the country music scene in 2006 with her smash single “Tim McGraw,” projecting her into the limelight as an innocent 16-year-old with booming vocals and ingenious songwriting talents. After the explosion of “Tim McGraw” onto the country music scene, Swift dove right into the industry, spinning out hits with singles like “Our Song,” “Teardrops On My Guitar,” “Love Story” and “Picture to Burn,” all instant Billboard classics with both the country and pop crowds. Known for drawing inspiration for her songs from past relationships, Taylor Swift continues demonstrating her loving soul and wide-eyed nature through her music as she becomes one of the most talked-about celebrities in all of Nashville. This magical sensation has been causing a stir around the nation as she lights up the stage with her angelic looks and powerful vocals, so if you haven't seen Taylor Swift in concert yet, check into http://www.stubhub.com/taylor-swift-tickets and grab a pair of Taylor Swift tickets today!
