Here is Taylor Swift during her early days trying to find her feet as a singer.Shots from her home videos and former promo shots show how Taylor has evolved from a wannabe star to the world's brightest country act.Taylor started singing aged two and was taped by family members.By seven she was writing lyrics and attempting to mimic pop stars on the radio. A couple of years’ later ambitious Taylor attempted to become a star by applying to record labels around Nashville.When her parents Andrea and Scott realized her daughter was headed for success, they left their Pennsylvania home for the Nashville suburbs.The teenager was granted a development deal by RCA Records to write country tunes, but felt stifled by not having the opportunity to perform as a solo act.Instead the star left the label, before holding an industry showcase for other labels and managers at the Bluebird Cafe in 2005.There, music mogul Scott Borchetta, who was about to start Big Machine Records, begged her to sign for him.After much deliberation she ditched other offers for Scott, who within a year had her release her debut CD.Taylor documented her recording sessions on a camcorder and also moments on her cellphone.Her debut CD sold over 5m records, and paved the way for her to be crowned the youngest ever Country Music Awards Entertainer Of The year (2008).She then went onto to bag honors at the Grammys, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards and CMTs, MTV Awards, Teen Choice Awards and People's Choice Awards.Taylor's hits like Story Of Us and We Are Never Getting Back Together have been written about her doomed relationships with boyfriends and famous lovers over the last ten years.Teardrops on My Guitar was about an ex college love Drew Hardwick, Last Kiss written for Joe Jonas and Back To December about Taylor Lautner.The Story Of Us and Dear John were aimed at John Meyer, while The Last Time covered her feelings on her break with Jake Gyllenhaal.Currently Taylor is dating One Direction
