the girl in the picturesTaylor Swift is a US-based singer and songwriter focused on two genres: pop music and country music. She was given the name Taylor Alison Swift and was born in the 13th of December 1989. In 2006, Swift launched her very first single entitled "Tim McGraw" which held the 6th spot on Billboard's Country Charts. In just a few months after her single's release, Taylor introduced her self-titled debut album which consisted of a total of five hit singles as those were included in Billboard's Country Chart. Swift's most popular single to date is "Love Story" which is considered as the very first country track to become a chart topper in the Mainstream Top 40 chart.Swift was born in Pennsylvania, born to parents Scott Swift and Andrea Swift. She has a younger sibling named Austin. As early as the age of 10, Taylor started creating songs as well as performing at singing contests. She also became part of Kirk Cremer's TheatreKids Live! Cremer's mother, one time, saw Taylor perform and suggested that she focus on country music as opposed to theater acting.At age fifteen, RCA Records offered her work, but Swift rejected because the label did not say yes to Taylor recording her own compositions. Eventually, Swift landed a deal with Big Machine Records after Scott Borchetta, (from the said label), became interested in Taylor's talent after watching her perform at The Bluebird Caf. Taylor's first single "Tim McGraw" was released in 2006, inspired by her favorite country artist of the same name. Taylor's debut album was released next, with most of the songs written by Taylor herself. The album topped Billboard's list of Top Country Albums and also hit the 5th spot on the Billboard 200 chart.The following year (2007), Taylor Swift received the "Songwriter/Artist of the Year" award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International, which made her the youngest performer in history to win the said award. Swift also received a nomination for "Best New Artist" in the 2008 Grammy Awards. In the first quarter of 2008, Taylor's "Picture to Burn", one of her debut album's singles reached number 3 on Billboard's Country Chart. Another single: "Should'va Said No" was released next, which became a chart topper on the same chart. In November of the same year (2008), Taylor launched "Fearless", her studio album, which topped the Billboard 200 Album chart, and also contained the lead single entitled "Love Story" which was a smash hit not only in the Country chart, but also in the Pop chart.In January of the current year (2009), Taylor appeared on Saturday Night Live, with her show getting the highest ratings. The following month, she performed at the 51st Grammy Awards with Miley Cyrus wherein they sang Taylor's track: "Fifteen".

Well, lets just sing hallelulliah!

The music video was directed by Shawn Robbins

This song became Swift's first single to reach the Top 10 of the Hot 100.

This song was featured as the background music to the daily TV montage of the Olympic highlights, shown at the end of the show.

This was originally recorded by Taylor Swift for the AT&T Team USA Soundtrack, an album featuring exclusive recordings by A-list artists created to support the American team in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

The video was filmed at the ballroom in the Scottish Rite Cathedral in Indianapolis, Indiana

Swift told CMT Country Countdown that she wrote this song "about being on a small record label and being a 16 year-old girl and having a lot of odds against all of us." She added that she finished it after winning the Horizon Award at the CMA awards in November 2007 as she knew "she couldn't finish it until something like that happened." Swift concluded that it is "interesting how you can apply the lyrics to the Olympics and to someone who got beat a few times and is really hoping things will change."

Change Lyrics!

And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you Somebody else gets what you wanted again You know it's all the same, another time and place Repeating history and you?re getting sick of it But I believe in whatever you do And I'll do anything to see it through Because these things will change, can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win We'll sing hallelujah! We'll sing hallelujah! Oh

So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair We're getting stronger now from things they never found They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared You can walk away and say we don't need this But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this 'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win We'll sing hallelujah! We'll sing hallelujah! Oh

Tonight we standed on our knees To fight for what we worked for all these years And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives Will we stand up champions tonight? It was the night things changed, can you see it now? These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in We'll sing hallelujah! We sang hallelujah! Hallelujah!
