Don't worry about the sophomore slump for country music teen queen Taylor Swift, as her sophomore album Fearless recently debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums chart. Swift scored the best sales week for a country album in a year, since the Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden release last November. Released by Big Machine, Fearless sold 592,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. Swift also notched six new entries in the Billboard Hot 100 subsequent to the release of her album, led by “White Horse” at Number 13. The 18-year-old country crooner will undoubtedly take her show on the road to support her album, so check out http://www.stubhub.com/taylor-swift-tickets for Taylor Swift tickets.

Taylor Swift hails from Reading, Pennsylvania and was raised on a healthy appetite of country music stars like Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and LeAnn Rimes. When Swift was just 11 years old, the ambitious and aspiring singer marched to Nashville with her demo tape, eventually persuading her family to move to Henderson, Tennessee, a suburb of Music City, when she was 14. Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Records caught one of Swift's shows and signed the young singer to his up-and-coming label. In 2006 Swift released her first single, “Tim McGraw,” which was followed by an eponymous debut album. The music video for “Tim McGraw” was an instant success and Swift's star was beginning its ascent to the top.

On the heels of one smash single, Swift continued the trend with equally successful songs “Teardrops on My Guitar” and “Our Song,” and in 2007 she became the youngest artist to win the Songwriter/Artist of the Year award at the Nashville Songwriters Association. Prior to releasing her sophomore album, Swift scored another hit with “Love Story” and the hits just keep on coming. All the more impressive is the fact the nearly all of Swift's songs are penned by her! She recently told Rolling Stone that she simply “can't stop writing songs,” so the young star is sure to churn out many more hits in her career. Swift also told the famed music mag that she has written some 500 songs, but only a fifth of them wound up on Fearless. As you may have guessed from Swift's recent media rant about her breakup with Joe Jonas (through a 25-second phone conversation!), most of her songs are about boys. Swift's penchant for turning her diary entries into successful singles has sure paid off and she doesn't plan on stopping, telling Rolling Stone, “I like writing songs about boys and relationships. And when someone breaks up with me, I like to write about it, because I feel like I have the last word. That's the fun part.” Take that, Joe Jonas!

The young star has sang the national anthem at the World Series and even played with Def Leppard, her idols. Swift just wrapped up a tour with Rascal Flatts but plans to headline her very own tour in 2009 and you won't want to miss it! Get your Taylor Swift tickets soon!
