Taylor Swift has carved out a niche as one of the 21st century’s most influential musical legends. Born in Pennsylvania on December 13, 1989, the Blank Space singer-songwriter was destined to make her mark in the music industry. She comes from a relatively well-off financial background; her father is a stockbroker and her mother is an ex-fund marketing executive. But, money does not promise talent. This was innate in Taylor Swift as she keeps proving time and again with her every new album release.
