Back in 2006, when Taylor Swift released her self-titled debut album, she was only 17. And you know what that means? The country star's parents had to be on board with her music career before she ever stepped into the country music scene. Turns out, Ma and Pa Swift weren't too keen on turning their teenage daughter into a music sensation. Luckily, the young 'Tim McGraw' hitmaker changed their minds.
On previous albums, Taylor Swift has written songs about ex-boyfriends like (allegedly) John Mayer, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal.

As predicted by many industry insiders, Taylor Swift has accomplished what no other female artist in SoundScan history has been able to do -- sell more than one million copies of an album in a 7-day period... twice. The 'Begin Again' singer claims her biggest career milestone after scanning a staggering 1,208,000 copies of 'Red,' her highly-praised fourth studio album.
No category at the 2012 CMA Awards will be as debated as the Female Vocalist of the Year category.

The road is going to be Red! Taylor Swift closed her big 'Red' release week media blitz out by dropping a bombshell announcement -- one we suspected was coming -- on ABC after her Katie Couric interview.

News of Taylor Swift's breakup from Conor Kennedy has spread like cooties -- so much so that even other celebrities are taking sides on the matter. Word of the reported split broke on Thursday.
