"We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana"

I really don't know what this means

How old was Taylor Swift in 1989?

From her bio

Synopsis

Born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift's family moved to nearby Wyomissing where she started crafting songs at age 5, and at age 16, released her debut album. Hits like "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me" appealed to country and pop fans alike and helped fuel the multiplatinum success of her albums, with Fearless the 2009 top-seller. Swift later became a pop juggernaut with the 2014 album 1989. She has won many awards, including several Grammys, and modeled for Cover Girl.

Early Life and Career

Taylor Alison Swift was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift spent her early years on her family's Christmas tree farm in nearby Wyomissing. Her grandmother had been a professional opera singer, and Swift soon followed in her footsteps. By the age of 10, Swift was singing at a variety of local events, including fairs and contests. She sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a Philadelphia 76ers game at the age of 11, and began writing her own songs and learning guitar at 12 years old.

To pursue her music career, Swift often visited Nashville, Tennessee, the country music capital. There she co-wrote songs and tried to land a recording contract. Noting her dedication, Swift and her family moved to nearby Hendersonville, Tennessee, in an attempt to further Swift's career.

It’s been great here in Mobile seeing all the fund raising and collection points set up all over town for non-perishable food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, etc. Everyone is stepping up to get some help to those poor folks.

My 19 year old daughter is a pretty big fan. I have to admit she has a few catchy tunes.

bam will not be blamed for this. He has a free pass to go on vacation while a bunch of poor whites lose their homes to a flood. The media already convinced the people that Bush hated blacks over Katrina.

“and aside from signing a disaster declaration five days ago, has otherwise not commented on the situation.”

He was a no show for the recent West Virginia flood devastation as well.

Remembering Katrina, 5 days after the hurricane hit, Bush had been pilloried in the press for not doing enough, the FEMA director had been fired, and Bush had visited the scene. Plus the media and every Democrat politician, including the Chocolate City Mayor who failed to deploy hundreds of school buses and the LA governor who refused to coordinate with the White House, were calling Bush a racist for abandoning the black people of New Orleans to the storm.

Whatever you do, Taylor, do not put the Clintons in charge of that donation!

Good on her, except...In how many Louisiana Democrat politicians’ pockets will it wind up? Like the money intended to maintain the levees and drainage system pre-Katrina.

How old was Taylor Swift in 1989? One of the trimesters, I think.

Would luv to see Trump visit before Obama or Hillary use it for a photo-op.

I always remember her as 14-15 here in Nashville

She has grown into a pretty leggy thang but given how I see her I can’t sexualize the vision like with most girls

Stays out of politics, but helps sick fans, and does quiet acts of charity.

My daughter used to love her...though recently, Ms. Swift has been tinkering with the "dark side" of show business--hanging out with the likes of Lena Dunham and her ilk. Ms. Swift should watch what she does, lest she end up like a Dixie Chick.

How old was Taylor Swift in 1989? Anyway, it's great she's doing this.


We saw her as part of the Rascal Flatts tour at the state fair in Laramie, WY in 2006.

She was pretty good for a 16 year old, but not quite as polished as a singer/performer...:^)

Rascal Flatts were good, but even in the outdoor stadium the sound level was deafening.

Obama goes golfing.
