Which month was Taylor Swift born in?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift was born in December. She was born Taylor Alison Swift on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania, and spent part of her childhood growing up on a Christmas tree farm near Wyomissing. Her December birth date is also connected to the title of her song “evermore” track “December,” though the month itself is most firmly established by her biographical records.

Swift became interested in country music while young and moved to Nashville as a teenager to pursue songwriting and recording. Her self-titled debut album arrived in 2006, when she was 16, and introduced her as a country-influenced singer-songwriter. She later moved toward pop, synth-pop, folk and indie styles while maintaining a strong focus on autobiographical storytelling.

A frequent mix-up comes from the fact that Swift’s breakthrough album Fearless was released in November 2008, while her birth month is December. Her birth year also inspired the title of her 2014 album 1989.
