Taylor discovered musical theatre when she was nine years old. She also studied voice and acting in New York City. She was introduced to country music through being a fan of Shania Twain. As a tween and teenager, she played local gigs and festivals. Eventually, she was convinced to travel to Nashville and submit Taylor’s early demo of Dolly Parton and The Chicks covers. Labels didn’t consider her to be original enough, and Taylor returned home from Nashville without a record deal.
She taught herself to play the guitar when she was 12. She soon wrote “Lucky You.” When Swift was 14, her family uprooted and moved to Nashville in hopes she could break into the music industry. Music manager Dan Dymtrow began representing Swift in 2003.

Upon performing her own compositions at an RCA Records showcase, Swift was signed to an artist development deal.
