'It was so obvious she had something. You know, she was 13, and she had that sparkle. So much sparkle dust around her' - Renee Bell, head of A&R at RCA Records Meet Taylor, 2003. She's a teen who came to Nashville with blisters on her fingers from learning to play a 12-string guitar. In every room she enters, she's the youngest person (by decades) and often the only woman. And if anyone asked if she could see herself becoming the biggest superstar on the planet, her answer probably would have been yes. Writing alongside industry veterans after school, Taylor Swift's song-writing ability set her apart. But her origins are more complex than a teen tapping into a new generation of country music fans. It's a story of taking risks, like walking away from powerhouse label RCA to strike out with an unknown, unfunded new label, and of trusting her instincts when no one else did. Washington Post reporter Emily Yahr pulls back the curtain on the country music industry?from executives who said yes to Taylor (and those who regret saying no), to collaborators like Scott Borchetta, Nathan Chapman, and Liz Rose, to Nashville itself. Intimate and immersive, Yahr takes us to iconic locations like Music Row and The Bluebird Cafe, as well as to Hendersonville High and the Swifts' own lakefront house. Taylor Swift: The Debut Years tells the definitive origin story of today's biggest star, with never-before-published interviews. Taylor's decade in Nashville shaped her as a musician, and ultimately changed country music itself long after she left the genre.
