T-Swift Makes A Turn ________________________________________________________________________ BY HEBAH MIRZA, 5th grade NEW YORK CITY — Taylor Swift can dance and sing but you might not know much about the famous singer. Well reading this will help with the inside story. While she is shaking it off, just a few years ago she nearly went BLIND when her new album Red came out. That's also when her 2013 hit "22" was on the top charts. Here's another sneak peek. She was born on December 13, 1989. That straight leads into her new album named after the year she was born in. In the amazing album are the songs that are now in the top 50. Shake It Off is the newest hit, following with Blank Space, and topping it off with Bad Blood.

Here's the back-story to Bad Blood. Katy Perry and Swift were best friends but Katy sparked a fire by dissing her in public. Twitter is not the

best way Katy Perry. That friendship ended! This is how it all started. Taylor Swift started playing a guitar on a rainy December day. Her parents had gotten her a guitar for her 11th birthday. She started writing songs at the age of twelve with her brother, Austin. Tay was bullied about her appearance. She pushed it away and moved to Nashville to start a career. Over the years she released five albums: Taylor Swift, Speak Now, Fearless, Red, and 1989. The catchy singer has won four GRAMMYS! She is known for country rocking but she brought in pop and rock as well. She's changed, but it's good. She continues to rocket off with her success. Now you probably know much more about Taylor Swift.
