Swift is making everyone proud!
CBS Philadelphia interviewed two of Swift’s childhood instructors about her early love of music ahead of the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department.
The outlet reported that Swift, 34, informed her elementary school music instructor Barbara Kolvek that she wаnted to sing in second grade.
“She always was writing poetry — always — even in music class, even when she shouldn’t,” Kolvek added, giving Swift “her very first singing solo.”
Former Swift music teacher from first to fourth grade informed the television outlet they kept in touch “for a while.”
“I feel like maybe I gave her a little spark or encouragement to do what she was doing,” he added.
Swift’s third-grade teacher, Heather Brown, called her “special quality.”
“You recall every student’s quality. Taylor was a sought-after student, Brown said CBS Philadelphia.
Brown said she sends Swift a Christmas card every year, even though “she probably doesn’t get the letters anymore.” Swift said everything she touches “turns to gold,” and she is “just so excited to see what comes next.”
“When she comes out on stage and everyone’s screaming ‘Taylor,’ it’s like, oh my gosh, like I was her teacher,” he remarked.
Swift’s childhood teachers deserve praise.
Swift set Spotify records for most streamed artist and album in a day after The Tortured Poets Department became available.
Her new album has crossed 300 million streams. First single, “Fortnight,” was the streaming platform’s most-streamed song in a day.
Swift wrote on Instagram that the album was “an anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions, and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time – one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure.”
This chapter in the author’s life is closed and boarded up. Avenging or settling scores after wounds heal is pointless. After reflection, many were self-inflicted “Swift continued.
This writer believes tears become holy when they become ink on a paper. “We can move on after telling our saddest story,” she said. “And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.”
