As Barbara Walters rightly said, Happy 31st Birthday to "the music industry" @taylorswift13
Here is a thread 🧵of interesting things our team knows about her
Here is a thread 🧵of interesting things our team knows about her
She was named after another singer/ songwriter James Taylor, and the two singers ended up sharing the stage
in 2011 to perform “Fire and rain” together. She is also named so because her mother believed that a gender-neutral
name would help forge her a better business career.

When she lived in Pennsylvania her family owned a 11-acre Christmas tree farm. She claims that it cemented in her an unnatural level of excitement about fall and then the holiday season. Can’t blame her.
Her mother wanted her to ride horses, and Taylor grew up around them. She had a Shetland pony named Ginger and rode horses competitively till she was 12 years old. Soon she realised she was more passionate about music (but you see them feature in her videos and photoshoots)
She learned how to play the guitar at 12, through a computer repairman called “Ronnie Kremer”, who was fixing her computer when he noticed the guitar in the corner of her room. The first song she played was the Sixpence None the Richer hit “Kiss me”.
She made her acting debut in the drama series CSI, in the year 2009. The character she played was of the teenager “Haley Jones”. She also performed music for the series.
In 2014, Taylor bought two adjacent penthouses in an old Tribeca building, converting them into a large duplex that has a total of 10 bedrooms. She bought these homes from the Lord of the Rings director Sir Peter Jackson.
She has three cats named- Meredith Grey, from Grey’s Anatomy, Olivia Benson from Law & Order, and Benjamin Button- from the curious case of Benjamin button.
She is also a big fan of ‘everything disney’ ( I mean who isn’t ?) and had a cameo role in the Disney Film Hannah Montana.
On to more recent news- she released evermore one day after Emily Dickinson's birthday, and it's worth noting here that Dickinson closed one of her most romantic poems penned for her lover Sue Gilbert, using the word "evermore" .
And even though we wouldn’t like to bring this up on her birthday, we need to mention her great sense of humour. She has a framed photograph of the infamous Kanye West encounter at her Nashville home, captioned, “Life is full of little interruptions.”
