Taylor Swift Live Web Cast

Truman's Team 6 Green recently watched a webcast of Taylor Swift discussing her love of reading and writing while answering questions from Trey Morgan and numerous middle school students.  She shared "where reading can take you" and how great literature has inspired her writing.  In fact, Taylor discussed her first novel written when she was 12.  Taylor, who writes all of her own songs, has career record sales in excess of 22 million albums and 50 million song downloads.  She also sang her song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” which created quite a sing along prompted by her. 

You can watch the taped version here.
