I’m a huge fan of Taylor Swift. I like her songs because when you listen to her music, it makes you feel what she feels. Taylor Swift has always been one of my favourite country music artists and I couldn't pass up any opportunity to see her even if tickets are hard to come by. But I still go to her concerts & sing along to all her songs after founding this site

Apart from celebrating her achievements as a nominee for 5 awards, Swifts has also jumped in the poll of her Fearless Tour, which will be joining Swift with tourmates Kellie Pickler and Gloriana.
